That's the thing. There was no "one time." If anything, it was those specific moments when I realized I had to make a change or I would be trapped in the same circle and share the same fate.
But even then, I didn't know what it really meant to live "for myself" or how to live "freely" because at the time all I could do was focus on surviving.
It was when I got tired of that and watching everyone else going through the same thing that I decided to change myself. That's part of the reason why I traveled to Valisthea. Try and "start over," and I suppose you could say those years and the people I worked with are what really taught me how to live independently.
[A small, rough laugh.]
Especially after finding that Valisthea wasn't the "magical paradise blessed by the Mothercrystals" we all thought.
