Thank you for helping me understand better. I've seen other kids in similar positions as you who end up on some bad paths and I guess I was projecting them onto you. That wasn't fair.
[From a certain angle, she's right. People don't often live through certain life experiences and walk away from them still a child, and she's no exception. But much in the way that Bruno still views Giorno and Fugo as children regardless of their experiences — and there are still pieces of them that are children even if they don't recognize it as much — the same also applies to Lucy.]
[Still, he offers no correction. He isn't about to tell her how to view herself any further than he already has. It won't do any good.]
For some people, maybe. But for me, not really. Too many people where I'm from will look the other way because some have enough on their plates. But there are plenty who could help who choose not to because it's easier to pretend something unpleasant like that doesn't exist.
I do what I do in the hope that someday, no one has to suffer the way they did again. If I start forgetting, then I'll look the other way, too, and then I stop trying to change things.

I'm sorry.

Still, I'm sorry for upsetting you. Or bringing up bad memories, rather. I don't like to do that. It's better not to think about that sort of thing.

I don't want to be complacent like that again.
So, you have nothing to apologize for, Lucy.

[This is . . . confusing.]
I didn't know people did anything other than look the other way.
