From what she's seen of people born in a 'good place' in life, she's pretty sure it sucks. The things they're insecure about and the things they go without might be different, but they're no happier.
Han's doing brilliantly with her so far. She's here, she's cooking for him, she's willing to hold his hand--she even felt safe enough to fall asleep. That's huge. The sort of thing to be celebrated, if it weren't likely to make them both embarrassed and uncomfortable to talk about it.
"Yeah," she admits with a little laugh, "everyone says so. It was just. That's all I knew for so long, sometimes I forget other people don't come from places with superpowers and things like that." But behind the laugh there's a little prick of pain. It isn't nice to speak ill of the dead.
"My point is, I'm not going to run away because someone else wants to label you as 'bad'."
