An orphan, shuffled from foster home to foster home, getting stuck with families who saw her as nothing more than a meal ticket, getting rid of her whenever she was too much trouble. She'd given up on fitting in anywhere a long time ago. Ran off and started jacking cars and robbing convenience stores to get by, crashing in motel rooms she'd never paid for. Even as an adult, she'd never put down roots anywhere, always an outcast, sometimes by choice, but usually not.

Maybe it'll be better for all of us this time around. We've been given the chance to change things. You might not go down the same path. But just because being here is about us changing the future, that doesn't mean you can give up on your present. There might not be much of it left, but- up until the very end, you owe it to yourself to keep trying. You owe it to Jo, too. What happens if the Jo here finds out about what happened in the bar?
