Now, that explanation was one that Ryan understood quite clearly. "Oh, your girlfriend," she mused, seeming to know that term. She'd heard Ethan call Lena his girlfriend many times, so she knew the phrase well. "I get what you mean," she confirmed, more confidently. So it looked like Minato had gone into details and possibly weirded himself- and the others -out without need.
Minato's next speech just seemed to bum Ryan out. "Well.. Fighting it is bad. My cousin did it, and people died because of it.. I don't want people to die because of me..." the girl murmured, seeming to get a bit more upset. She very vividly recalled Ethan, Larkin, and Twyla having to die because of Lena for the choice she made when she got Claimed. She didn't want to get anyone killed by making a choice like that. "..But I shouldn't worry about it. Surely I'll be Light. That's what I want to be, so if you're right, I'll be it... Right?"
Ryan nodded her understanding. Though she wasn't fond of the fact, she already knew it to be true, and accepted it in a way. "
That's true. People do get hurt a lot.. I just don't understand why. I mean.. Who would want to hurt others, anyways..?" she asked, openly. The fact that the others all seemed opposed to the Claiming just confused her. It was odd, to her, that nobody else had this choice. But, then again, Ryan didn't mind it too much.. As long as she wound up Light, she would be happy. "
Well.. Yeah.. What's so odd about that?" she asked, seeming sincerely confused. "
I guess so.. But my momma did say Lena may've broken the curse.. So maybe I'll get to choose, after all."
