[Oh. Oh, okay, Rapunzel wasn't expecting that. But it's okay, because she's still hugging x-23, and only shifts just a little so she can rub her back. That's it, just let it all out...]
And you know... she tried to keep me under her thumb for so long, and I was really scared when I first left the tower where she kept me locked away. But when I finally made it out into the real world... I found people who loved me, people I wouldn't trade for anything in the world. I found a better life, and I felt free.
[Eugene, Cass, her parents... all her friends, the people of Corona, her work as a princess... just that one step out of her tower led her to all that. It was terrifying, and she agonized for so long over it, but it was so good in the end.]
I know how scary those first steps outside can be, and I know how it feels to be lost out in the big world away from everything you knew... but eventually, someone will find you, and help you.
