Ana wasn't too surprised at Pidge's response. Kids at that age are rarely open with their feelings, even if they try to deny how obvious they are.

Still, even just talking can help ease a troubled mind, so she decided to stick with that for now.

"I have a friend back home, Winston. He was born on the moon. Well, raised there. He was never really clear on whether he was born there or not."

She looked down at the Earth below, still smiling fondly.

"He used to tell me what it was like, watching the earth from afar like this, how beautiful it was. Never thought I'd ever get to see it for myself, honestly."

She looked back over at Pidge, wearing a bit of a silly-looking grin.

"Winston's a gorilla, you know. Genetically modified, super intelligent gorilla. I had the weirdest coworkers."

It made for interesting stories, at least.
