"Guilt can do terrible things to people," she said solemnly. She ought to know, after all; it had been largely grief and guilt mixing with shock to shatter her mind. "I don't suppose it's any of their business, is it? I'm not exactly running up and down the streets carving the arms off children. Their morality doesn't apply to my reality."

"They'll try to make it apply," Ino said, shrugging. "Just ignore it. I do. It's not like that at home."

Yeah. Cable-san and Deadpool and the others weren't having much luck hammering that particular point of morality home.

"I'll keep that in mind," Alice smiled. "I try not to pay much mind to people and their idle chat. I get unusual looks. I've been told I'm strange. But normality is so boring when you can have adventures."

"I like idle chat," she admitted, "all the better to have people misjudge what you're capable of. Though, that's a problem too, when they find out and it blows up in your face."

Ino shrugged. "It pretty much comes down to doing what you want, yeah? And forming your own opinions."

Bleeding Wonderland dry had cured her, and cured it. She wasn't sorry for a moment of it.

"And not letting everyone else tell you what to think. They aren't you to begin with, how should they know?"

"Because of standards, or whatever, I don't know. They don't know but they think they do." Ino shrugged and offered a smile. "Just smile, and go on. They can talk, but they can't make you change the way you think."

A beat.

"I think I'll like you though."

Alice smiled back, a genuine smile that reached her eyes. "I think I shall like you as well," she confessed. "And I suppose so long as we're dismissing outdated morality, I should well enjoy the view, shouldn't I?"

"The view," Ino said almost gravely, before she laughed and tossed her head back, "should always be enjoyed. No matter what it is."
