Meche nodded, a serious expression on her face as she practiced aiming at each place Senna pointed out. It all still felt a little silly, especially now that Alita's spear wasn't coming at her. She closed her eyes for a minute and tried to picture the monster from the ruins: the lightning, that terrible howl, the huge, towering body. Suddenly practice didn't feel quite so silly anymore.
She opened her eyes but kept driving the spear forward as she talked. "Something like that. I told you how I was lost in the forest for a year, and then I got kidnapped and forced to do slave labor for this..." She couldn't think of a suitable word for Domino. "...this guy? Well, Manny was the one who got me and everyone else out of there, and then shut their whole scam down. He spent two years looking for me."
Admittedly it was the abridged version, with the parts about stolen cases and champagne bottles and the warden's bunk cut out, but it really did sound like a fairy tale when she put it that way. Meche smiled to herself. Did Cinderella exist in Senna's world? Maybe some stories were universal.
