Yup, a story teller is bound to garner some attention. Luz herself was listening attentively.

"I'm sorry to hear that. I was born as the only child, and even then my dad wasn't around for very long. I've been raised by only my mom as long as I can remember. After that, if I've been with other people, we all tend to look out for each other, whether it was on the Isles or here. I couldn't imagine someone adopting me only to act like I was just one of many."

Luz frowned. "But he wasn't that antagonist, the Matrix was. He knew the truth, and chose comfort over fighting to live. Artificial reality was more important than those who cared for each other and struggled together. That doesn't sound like a way I'd ever want to live."

Luz was all about living her truth, no matter how hard it was. She chuckled at Cypher's retort though.

"All of our Omens are just a little different from us. I think I like that about them, honestly. I think I agree with Cypher there."
