"That is something I have struggled with, ma'am," Onyx says. "I do not have a good answer. My...my mentor says that helping even one person is enough. Another person once told me that we do not exist to save others, but to demonstrate that you can stand up and fight. That it is possible to resist. He said that others will follow."
"As I have seen, he may have had a point," Onyx smiles at Nailah. "But, I am not sure either answer is satisfying for me."
"I have never felt that I was doing this for other people. I did not expect Madripoor or anywhere else to change. I did not expect to be praised or make a difference," Onyx says. "I just wanted someone my mentor to be safe and happy."
