Xion watches him talk, and finds herself feeling almost absurdly grateful. She can see in him the same understanding she feels in herself. The same ... bitterness. She has trouble admitting it to herself, but sometimes she feels incredibly bitter over what happened to her. What was done to her.
Listening to Ash, she feels like, for the first time ... she finally understands the difference between herself and the Sheriff. ]
... this whole time I wanted to defend him, because I thought he was so much like me. But ... you're right. I rebelled against the people who made me. I fought them, because I realized their goals were all lies, and they just wanted to use me, or get rid of me if they couldn't. The Sheriff... if he can think like you and I do, he's choosing to do all of this. He hasn't tried to stop it, or run away...
[ Xion hugs herself, walking stick clutched tight in one hand as she more or less balances on her good foot. ]
... thank you, Ash. I really didn't know ... how to think, or feel. But you're right about him.
