Adora's brow furrows and her little self-hug tightens. That's... closer to the truth, but not really how Adora thinks. She knows her friends love her - how could she not? But she also knows that all she has to offer is... herself, at the end of the day. It's complicated.

"No... I don't think they'd be happy if I left or died."

Although there's a dark part of her that doesn't care if she lives or dies, in the end. If she has to die in the process... wouldn't that be OK?

"But being able to protect people... I'm good at it. And better me than someone else."
