On pain:
One might say suffering is part of being human. Does that mean those who have yet to suffer are yet to be fully human? If that were true, if pain and sadness were a prerequisite for recognition, Hezalea would rather shirk it all.

On willfulness:
Muting any of the senses takes more than being told, "Just deal with it." But now... Hezalea can indeed say that to herself and expect herself to stop being so flustered by the incessant agony that hovers around her. It's all just a placebo. She's incredibly annoyed that this very power has validated all the insensitive words thrown her way.

On heroism:
Was numbness always part of being a hero? She doubts it. Often the most questionable heroes are ones who have become desensitized from the horrors that plague their lives. She wishes she could feel visceral disgust at all the atrocities in the world again, she wishes she could say that was the drive for her ambitions, but really, why does she continue moving forward?
