Damn. Well, that was exactly the kind of answer she should have expected to hear from this guy. It was still something of a frightening thought, if only because she constantly wondered if she were ever far gone enough that she would lose her perspective, somehow endanger things.
But it was stupid, the more she thought about it, to think about it now. Somewhere in her Mindy had wanted THAT, that life where she could at least count the things she had, laugh with a few chosen friends, pretend she had a normal life. That made her at least remember she might be able to go back, like after they killed D'Amico. But if that were true, Hit Girl wouldn't exist, and she wouldn't be trying to be an Overlord. When it came down to it, and she was honest, that dream of a life was just a mirage and she knew it.
"Yeah, I guess...I guess I already knew that answer. The pain in the ass about being two people is that one of them looks back on what she could have been and wonders what that would have been like. But I know I've seen too much, so that's not gonna happen."
