"I can listen to people in the park from your house. I can listen to people I know from farther away than people I don't know. I can hear what people are putting in their thoughts to share but not things they are keeping secret."

"I don't have a great idea of what that means. You only hear things that people are specifically thinking about, and only if they don't want to keep them secret?"

"Only if they're not keeping them secret. Grownups usually keep most of their thoughts secret where I am from but here they do not."

"Maybe people don't know how to counter mind reading in this dimension. If they happen to be thinking about different things all day, you can't get any information about whatever they did to pull you here?"

"Not if they aren't thinking about it. Mandos can read all the thoughts a person's ever had but only him because it's his job."

"So we gotta make sure they're specifically thinking about it. And even then it seems possible that they might not have the specific thoughts we would need to reconstruct what they did."

"It seems like it probably will not work. But that is okay."

"...It's not, really, it means you'll be stuck here indefinitely. And you hate it here."

"I think I will get used to them with time."

"It also means we're never going to be sure that Wolfram & Hart doesn't still want you, which... causes additional problems."

"I think that probably you should quit your job and we should run away and live in the woods."

"We can't live in the woods. I have pretty much none of the skills needed for living in the woods. We would have to move to a different country, which would only sort of help because Wolfram & Hart operates in lots of countries and probably all of the ones where people speak my language." Also they may or may not own her soul at this point, she's really unclear on that.

"Then probably if they ask about me you should just tell them where I am so you don't get in trouble, and I will explain to them that they should probably send me back without killing me if they know how because killing people is wrong."

"Wolfram & Hart likes doing wrong things, Maitimo." 

It would honestly probably be good if she could just turn off her emotions like Data when she's around this kid, honestly, but she can't, and now she is thinking about all of the things she's afraid of Wolfram & Hart doing to them, and that's just really great, brain, that won't traumatize any children at all.

Hug?

Sure fine there can be hugs.

"I know you want me to stop and I should but nothing makes any sense and all the explanations leave a lot of things out and I'd rather know what's going on."

"I don't really want you to stop? I just - am not sure it's good for you to be taking giant risks you might not understand, and I'm mad that there aren't any actually good options on the table here. I guess."

"I don't think it makes sense to be mad about that."

"Well I'm gonna be mad about it anyway. Not at anyone. Just at - things. Although I guess maybe it would make more sense to be mad at Wolfram & Hart's science department."

"I think probably they could not have gotten me if it was not the divine plan."

"Well, yeah, but that's true of all of the bad stuff that people do. I'm still gonna be upset with them if they decide to kidnap tiny children from their parents for nefarious purposes."

"Yes, they still should not do that. But there was probably a reason it happened and I do not think it was so we could both die for no reason."

"Lots of people die for no immediately apparent reason, Maitimo."

"I don't think that's true."
