[She remains silent for a good while, hastily composing herself again the best she can. Because she hates breaking down in front of him, even if he has changed, it's clear he hasn't changed enough to not find such a display annoying. She doesn't look up either, doesn't bother with even checking if he's still there, she knows he is, his presence fills the room just like always. It doesn't matter if he keeps to himself, or how far from the group he is, she always notices his presence somehow.

Eventually she manages to gather words again.]

What if you leave? As far as I'm aware of this is the second time you're here or so and the first time you were older too but not so old. You weren't like you are now yet. You were still pretty much the one I'm used to... What if you leave and return like that again? I... I can wait. It's what I will do if your present is indeed my future, right? But I don't know if I could stand losing it once I have it. Not like that.

[And yet she knows, she's cursed. No matter what she does she is going to get hurt and deeply. If she accepts the life that is presenting itself to her, she will one day get hurt when Bulla and Vegeta leave just as she will hurt every day knowing that one day she will return home where all that awaits her is an emotional hell. If she doesn't accept it... She will just start hurting now, and it will be made worse by how it will hurt Bulla and Vegeta as well.]

No matter what I do... All that's left for me in the end is getting hurt and tortured, right?

[What has she done to deserve this? What have they done to deserve it?]
