Ah, someone else told me about these powers we're supposed to be getting, though I myself don't feel any different, which could be both good and bad I guess.

[The mention of someone back home waiting instantly brought up the mental image of Raye. Naomi stops dead in her tracks.]

No.

[No, Raye's dead, and he's not coming back so she had to stop dwelling on it already. Ah, Naomi realized that came out a little harshly and readjusted the tone.]

I mean, it's fine, but no, not anymore. [Ugh, she felt like she was babbling nonsense.] Well, I did have something I needed to do back home, which involved meeting someone, but it didn't work out the way I planned, and well, now I don't really have much reason to go back. [Can you hear the complete and utter shame in her voice?]

Ha! [But she tries to lighten the mood anyway.] But it looks like I don't have much reason staying here either. Can't have it all I suppose.
