[Her shoulders tighten, though she doesn't acknowledge what he says. She refuses to give up and simply let live. She can't. There's hope here, something to fight for. Vincent would want it like this too and so long as he's not here, she'll fight for him, for their future.

She turns back to him after a moment.]

This city was ravaged by a nuclear device called the Core, the reason for our entrapment. That's what created the creatures and the Darkness. In the daytime, the biggest problems are the companies. One controls the entertainment industry but endorses slavery; the other controls the science and medical fields but uses experimentation as their means of progress.

[She can already tell she's not endearing him to the city or its people.]

Newcomers are shunned and we're often blamed for whatever problem is going on. On top of that, the Core grants any Newcomer without abilities back home a 'power'.

Anywhere you go, you'll run into someone with some sort of ability, even if it's the power to nullify other's gifts. [A pointed look.] They're called Voids. Avoid them.

[She says this not out of care or concern; the fact remains that she's felt empty around them without the use of her powers. He'll probably feel worse.]
