Different thoughts were spinning in my head, while I listen to Eliza's short story about her childhood. Besides, something went little wrong - her accent has become more pronounced than I heard in the beginning. But I couldn't say more without solid signs.
She asked about my version of childhood, so I finished my tea, put a cup on the table, and stood up before Eliza. I should have expected the answer would not be pleasant and partially woeful. After scrolling memories, I came closer to the thick tree, leaned on and started talking.

- I must admit, my childhood has been much better than yours, until becoming a teenager. By origin, I was born in Liberty, in a non-poor family, and lived like my peers, like all children on the Manhattan - had fun on the yard with friends, went to school, and generally enjoyed my life. When I was 13, everything has changed instantly - I was told my parents are gone forever and I am losing citizen's status. Next 4 years I was living within Border Worlds under my uncle's wing and learned how to live in severe conditions. On the Freeport 10 I have met Miles, you know him, he is a captain on the Mafdet, callsign Drake. We worked as best as we ever could even sometimes participated in illegal races to earn money. Uncle Tom has disappeared, when I was 17 and since this moment, my adult life has begun...Until you ask me, I can say, parents and 27 people were killed during the terrorist act in the Omega-3. They assaulted transport on route Cambridge-Stuttgart.

William finished talking and closed his eyes on a bit, then looked at Eliza with determination at came closer to her. The Mu's star was shining brightly on his figure and brown eyes. It could seem, his aura radiates a wave of warmth and hope that soothed them both.

- I want to bring a brighter future for our children, without evil, anger, and sorrow. After joining the Order five years ago I swore to myself I will do everything possible to achieve peaceful worlds for all of us...Wait, did I say "our children"? No, no, that's not what I meant! I wanted to say your and my children...You know....

Nobody could argue, that was a really blushing moment for me and I immediately turned my look away and felt a heat on my face. It seemed to me that the horse winked to him and returned to his exploration.
