[Nadine shrugs. She's not exactly ashamed to admit that. Certainly not to Amos, who she feels something of a kinship with already. It's like back when she was a kid, and someone new would come into the home. There was that understanding and knowing without having to know.]
Society was a mess. And it didn't really look like it was going to get better. What we had...it wasn't working. There were a lot of things I didn't miss. But...adults, for the most part, are crappy people. Kids aren't.
[There's no further elaboration, but she doesn't think she needs any. The implication is clear: she didn't mind that most of humanity over the age of twenty had been wiped out, but the kids weigh on her.]
But yeah, the only real difference this made was a little peace for a few hours and a pretty window view. Which I guess counts for something - like you said, a little better than it could have been. And it's not like it matters now, now we live in some sort of fantasy epic.
[She shakes her head, scoffing a little at the fact. It still hits her sometimes that this is her life. This is reality, this is where everything has led to. Something out of the wildest imagination.]
