"Now you know. Just know that Marie's really sensitive about being touched now, from what I saw when we found her. I don't know how long she'll feel that way."

"I don't see her very much myself, but I'll definitely keep that in mind," Alphonse assured. "I hope it'll turn out better for her eventually."

"A lot of people care about her. She could be in a worse place."

"That's what Victor told me. People where he was from were sometimes cruel to mutants. Especially when they look different, like he did." He nodded decisively. "Marie is better off here, with us."

Alphonse shook his head. "That's terrible," he murmured. "Yeah, I think you're right. It should be easier to cope when she's around people who understand."
