When I was asked, I gave some answer about being a thrill-seeker and being okay with never knowing what life was going to throw at me... but the thing is, that's shallow. Everyone else in my team has a solid reason for it, to prove themselves, to change how things are-- and then there's me.

[ Yang laughs, humorlessly. ]

What am I even fighting for?
