"Oh id never underestimate it, I've seen some of the novices....no offense." She fears most people are lead by hormones. She's not much different though. "You can mess with your sister because she won't accidentally kill you. She'll kill me."

“ this place is like an asylum, never underestimate how powerful stupidity can be here. ” given the remarkably low average IQ, she wouldn't be the least bit surprised. “ you can always find a healthier vice, like messing with my sister. ”
