I feel...[She pauses to consider how to word this.]

Back then, I needed someone else to help me stay earthbound or I'd fade away. It might sound inconvenient relying on someone else like that, but...

To tell you the truth, it was like a part of me I never knew was missing got filled. It wasn't bad at all.

[She sighs.]

I dunno...it's hard to explain, but... with that missing it's almost kind of lonely.

[If she knew he was involved in this she'd literally die for being so sincere.

But whereas she was sounding a little pensive there, she switches to sounding firmer in tone, like what she says next is a reminder to herself more than anything else.]

But we can't just go throwing our humanity away without thinking about it.

Once retrospec is gone, we need to make sure we can go back to society intact. Being pragmatic about this, I guess I'd stay human.
