[Nia's expression shifts to something that's not quite pity. It's just a deep sadness.]

You need hope. [She takes a breath and reaches her hand out to place it over Rue's.] What you want, what you're asking for... I don't know if that can happen, honestly. Humans are freer than you, but we got so many problems of our own. Ones that haven't got anything to do with the Entities.

I don't know what things are going to look like when I step down from ADI, but there are people here who aren't tainted like I am. Ones who want to build a life for people like you as best they can. What I was trying to say was that I think you're someone who could help make than an actual reality, Rue. You got a way with words, but that's only if you want to do that. I don't want you to feel like you're trapped into something just to make it all work.

I wish I could give you more. Really. I can try to get people to look away. And whoever comes after me, they can work on the same thing. I don't think you can ever have the life of your dreams here. But maybe something... better than what you had?
