With all of the horrible things that had happened since the start of the first Omnic crisis, Ana and a lot of other Overwatch members developed a habit of compartmentalizing things. It wasn't really healthy, mind you, but at least it let her focus on the silver lining of the whole lunar colony incident. Out of the original founding members, only Reinhardt and Torbjorn seemed relatively healthy, out of massive optimism and stubbornness, respectively.

Over time, Ana had become acutely aware of the effect it had on some people. Even though it certainly wasn't healthy reinforcing something like that, she was typically more comfortable around the other Overwatch members who understood. Even spending seven years wandering the world on her own hadn't really help much in this department.

Even so, she continued talking, even though her tone shifted ever so slightly. She still wasn't used to anything anyone could call 'civilian life'.

"Oh?" she replied, a little more warmly. "She sounds like quite an amazing person. But people who go through extraordinary things like that tend to be. The ones who have been through the most often are the ones most willing to give."

Despite going through her fair share of hardships, Ana only ever considered herself two things: a soldier and a mother, but not much of a hero. She was often much harder on herself than she was on everyone else.
