The girls looked to one another; they had never been asked the question before, at least in Alex's mind.
"Because no matter where you go or what you see, you'll always want to be where you belong," Lucy said.
"Your home is where you feel most comfortable and loved," Wendy said.
"It's a part of you," Alice added. "It's where your family is."

“You
see, I came into this world just like I’m assuming
you did—full of excitement and
promise. I wanted to do so much good work,
help so many people, and give as much as I
could to those who needed me. But then I
learned a very harsh lesson—the world
doesn’t always give back. I am not a tragic case of the world; I am
the world—cruel, unfair, and not a fairy tale.
People are not born heroes or villains;
they’re created by the people around them.
And one day when your bright-eyed and
bushy-tailed view of life gets its first taste of
reality, when bitterness and anger first run
through your veins, you’ll discover that you
are just like me—and it’ll scare you to death.”
