Talking with the other Lis is kind of risky. No one wants to say anything that'll get you subjected to more reconditioning so we just stay quiet most of the time. And we don't have video games. One of the Xue that I work with - they're the Monsters - plays some game on his phone with a bunch of anime girls. I'm not sure how it works, though.
[Hybrid or not, assassin or not, teenage boys were going to be teenage boys as much as mutants were. But that's really as far as her experience of hanging out with people goes, and now, suddenly, the world has opened up to her. She could go anywhere here that she wanted. She can say anything she wishes to. The idea is almost too much to comprehend. How is she supposed to act? What is she supposed to do? It's a big step forward for her, and for Donatello, too.]

I get to buy something from night markets on the way back from missions sometimes, and I sneak off to the temple to Guanyin when I can. That's about it. I wonder if we'll be able to find any market food here? Some of the snacks in Northeastern China are so good. I'm going to miss them if I can't get any while we're here.
It'll be good to see you, too. That hallucination felt really real when it was happening, but it's a little fuzzier now that it's over. I want to see you in the real world.
[She wants memories that aren't cloudy, and are likely to remain permanent. Li doesn't think that's much to ask for.]
[Video // Locked] -> Action?
