Oh. ...It's not like that where I'm from. And— even the nice people I've met here— like, for example, this really cool sky monster lady I know— I like her, and she likes me, but she told me straight up she thinks all sea creatures are gross and disgusting and she wants nothing to do with them... So even the people I trust— y'know— I can't trust...

...That's why I need the snow suit. Besides— you never know what kind of person will show up here, right? Humans— ...are great. I like humans. A lot. But— back home— most people just think they're out to do murders, heh.

[ Really poor job of masking that darkness with mirthless chuckles laced throughout — just pure, ironic rhetoric. After all that attitude, both conversations they've had... some dots are maybe connecting. Poor kid. ]
