"If you'd believe it," she replies with a raised brow, mostly jaded by now, though there are times when she's still able to look on the past with some level of fondness, "I used to be the type of girl to believe in happily ever after. Decided I wanted to save it all for someone I could see myself spending the rest of my life with. Thought I found a guy, and... turns out, he was a big, fat liar. Saddled me with millions in debt. A girl learns to watch herself after something like that."

She leaves off the rest of it, the fifty years she spent in cryogenic freeze, because that's no one's fault much, just the result of intense curiosity. Taking her places that weren't safe in the first place. She never had the right to make that choice, Faye thinks. She had no idea what it would really entail.

"I'm sure that if this place relied on cash and had a bit more wiggle room, I wouldn't have settled down at all."
