[There's a special running today—unlimited hugs as long as you don't make it weird by touching something you shouldn't!]

But, hey, in "that-isn't-really-comforting news" we could end up here for the rest of our lives with none of us ever being separated and no one getting a choice in it.

[Please, as if he would. You're thinking of Kirk.]

No prison is forever. [Even the prisons that are space.] And even if this one is an exception, there would be worse things than never leaving here.

[Kirk has never been untoward to her. Much.]

Agreed. I thought I was happy in Marina a lot of the time. It was better than home. But this is better than the prison. At least most of the time. Even if better just means it messes with our heads less frequently.

[Much. It's not like the guy even does it to be a creep, it just happens.

He can't completely censor a frown since he was pretty happy in Marina. Considerably happier than he is here--which isn't hard, honestly--and happier than he would be if he went home and kept all of his memories. (And Kitty is only trying to be positive and of course she's happier here than she was in the time she remembers in the prison, but that does sting. He needs to keep reminding himself that she isn't quite his Kitty and she doesn't remember the good things that he does.)]

Not so much better when the Atroma create difficult situations to entertain an audience. [A wince. Kitty's trying to make things okay, he needs to get it together.] ...Er. But their control is more limited and they seem disinclined to changing who we are what we think regularly, so... something to be thankful for, of course.

[She sees that frown.] Hey, I didn't mean it to sound like I was never happy in Marina. I was. I just thought it was a better place than it was. And this place could use a lot of improvement too. I've just been to a lot of places that are rough on a person and this one is least so. [If you don't count her early childhood.] The people were great in Marina, and I still miss them. Winn wants to help me rescue them if we can ever rescue ourselves from here.

[He nods to show that he follows, but can't agree that this is a better prison than Marina. Even if it objectively is (and it is in a lot of ways, he realizes that), he would absolutely go back to Marina if he could.]

Even if we are able to leave here, I think that it's highly unlikely that we would be able to help them leave there. It is a nice thought.

[She would have to before Winn.]

Since when do I ever do anything unless it sounds entirely impossible? [How is that even a point, Chekov?]

[candothat]

I'm almost certain that you have done things that sounded perfectly possible before. [It's just such an improbable thing and Chekov's into keeping hopes and expectations realistic right now!]

Suggesting a meal doesn't count.
