"An existence of peace? And my power will give you that?"
"Indeed. I need not worry about relationships, danger, nor emotional burdens. I would be free to walk a world that would be unable to touch me in any capacity. I could go where I want, do what I want, and die peacefully."
"That sounds more like freedom than peace to me."
"What is peace if not freedom from anxiety, disturbance and violence? Freedom and peace are tied very close together, and I crave both."
"But you crave peace more?"
"Indeed. But as I just said, a true life of peace only comes from a life that is free. There is no one without the other."

Lee smiled brightly.
"Does life need to be as simple as that?"
Squabee choked on air. This behavior couldn't be normal... could it?
Lee continued.
