[He's been mulling this over since he met Hannibal, really.]

What was the first turning point in your life? Do you even remember who your real heroes were, when you were a kid? Or maybe some people do actually idolize their parents. For me, the only idols are the ones who can't become real, but it's been pointed out to me before that it's possible to worship someone in spite of their faults.

After your time, maybe.

[Her brow furrows, slightly.] I think certain events are meant to happen. But we choose what to do with them.

I don't think you can. [A beat, as her brow furrows and her head tilts.] Well - Iris can probably tell if something's out of joint, temporally speaking. But most of us - we don't know what's fixed or mutable. We don't know how much of us is meant to be. We don't know if gods are playing chess with our lives or destiny is being warped around us.

[A slight shrug.] The only thing we can do is make our own choices as best we can.

[A slight nod.] I think messing up - losing - can make us stronger, in the long haul.

Support is a big one. For most people - it's a lot harder to do it alone.

Once they get one, sure. But some people don't know how to accept it. It can be hard, if you've never had it before.

That, and... [A faint frown, as she considers.] Opening up, letting people in - if you've never done it, you need to learn how.

That's a big part of it, yeah. [A sudden, wry smile.] Real, emotional honesty can still - I'm not quite used to it.

[Barbara just stares, for a moment, before pushing down a bizarre urge to laugh her guts out.]

Yeah. Yeah, that's it exactly.

Usually. [Now more than ever, really.] The Barge helped me with that.

How about you?

Honestly? I figure the Barge teaches the Wardens about as much as it teaches the Inmates. Maybe that's why we're asked.

That it's all right to just be Barbara, and that she's still there under the mask.

[A sudden smile, slight and sharp.]

That vengeance isn't always wrong.
