[But the grin fades as she rubs the back of her neck, turning to look off across the shadowy back-lot with a thoughtful frown.]
It's... hard to explain, exactly. I'm not ... totally sure I could put it into words.
I'm not eloquent like my Dad's writing always was.
But this place... there was something wrong with it generations before I was even born. Stuff under the surface... it's not war, so I can't... compare it to what you talk about. But it's... something.
