Vanya smiles. It's hard not to when a person seems to have a passion for what they do. Marcus puts up with the gala bullshit to do right by the kids he works for.

There are so many more good people in Darrow than the world as she knew it. At least, people that are willing to be good to her. Even she did make them complicit in a totally unnecessary lie.

"Both," she says with unequivocal certainty. If he were looking for someone to glad-hand (and he is not), he'd be way off-base with her. While her skin isn't as thick as she'd like it, she's certainly harder to devastate than she once was. She still thinks she's nothing, but at least there are others that don't think so, now.

She smiles gently, "I can tell you like your job," she adds. "I sometimes miss working with kids. You're right: they're not fake." She thinks about Harlan first, but her students from her private lessons, as well. In her experience, children are tenacious and resilient. They all deserve better than she and her siblings got.
