"I'm sorry to hear about that. Sometimes I forget that people might not be from the best of places." There's a desire to ask more about Furiosa's world, but Natalie shuts up and focuses on the second statement. Humans aren't doing this. Does that mean something else is? Why would they want to trap people in the Nexus?

"I'm a fool...I have family and friends that don't even know I'm here. Heck, even those I considered to be close allies retreated instead of fighting. Does that make them cowards or me the idiot for not seeing the situation and assessing it better?" The touch isn't rejected, but it's hard to accept the kindness of a stranger so quickly. She fakes a smile.

"Maybe our worlds will be the same as we left them? Some say time doesn't really exist here." A nod of confidence to her final set of words.

"Of course I'll have your back. I don't want to see anyone get hurt or die during this expedition." Her hand goes to one pocket. "However, if I do fall...you must promise me that you'll take my friends and keep them safe."
