"Karone, time to get up," DECA said, brightening the lights in the cabin. The occupant of the cabin, a young woman formerly known as Astronema, yawned. Knowing that DECA probably wasn't going to let her sleep in, she sighed, made her bed, and slipped into her jumpsuit.
On her way to the breakfast table, she looked out one of the Megaship's windows. Right now, the Megaship was orbiting Earth, roughly above the area known as California. Somewhere below them, her brother's teammates were going to school. She, of course, had never been to school. Ecliptor had been the one who raised her and taught her all about the things she needed to know as one of Dark Spectre's highest-ranking people.
_I've caused so much destruction, done so much to their city, and yet they are so willing to accept me as one of their own. I helped destroy my home world, and cause what was left of its inhabitants to hide, yet I've been accepted by so many people. It's as if they're willing to forgive me no matter what I've done to them._
Astronema would have found this to be weak thinking. If someone destroys your stuff, you destroy them right back. After all, you're better than they are. But Karone was discovering the whole universe didn't run that way. Out in the worlds of good, they were actually willing to forgive her for what she'd done.
"Karone? Are you okay?" Zhane asked from behind her.
"Just... thinking, I guess," she said, turning away from the window. She suddenly didn't want to expose her weakness, although she knew that Zhane wouldn't laugh at her for it or take advantage of it. He was one of the *good* guys.
But, then again, he was the wrong person to be talking to about it. Who she really needed to talk to was her brother Andros, who understood what it was to do something wrong. Much as she loved Zhane and his spirit, sometimes she didn't think he quite understood. "About what?" he asked.
"It's nothing, really. Just thinking."
Zhane put his arm around her, pulling her close but not saying a word, as they looked down upon the Earth.
