With tension between them resolved, Kyle and Selene talked about less dramatic matters.
For example, Kyle really wanted to know why Selene was willing to join his team when she had so many different powerful teams to choose from.
"Because of what you said," Selene said. "I asked you why you wanted me in your team. When you answered, you didn't mention anything about my family. Even more importantly, you didn't say it was because we were friends."
"You just said I would be a perfect fit and that you wanted me for my capabilities."
"You treated me like a random but capable person, and that's what I was looking for."
"In any other organization, I would be treated like a treasure, but that's not what I want. My goal is to become a Transcendent, and I can't become a Transcendent by being protected by everyone around me."
"I need danger and experience."
