Maya did her best not to just get drowned in all the pain and loss she's had over the... well, she lost things even while she slept, so years. Her powers were a gift, her friends were wonderful, even the ones that weren't at the school. It was still hard, when good seemed to be forever overwhelmed by pain. And that all she could do with that pain is try to make something out of it.

"You didn't bring it up, it's just... there. Something I have to live with. It sucks, and I hate it, and I do this so that maybe some of the people that haven't had to deal with this crap won't have to." Which was foolish and probably going to give her an ulcer or something. But, what else could she do?
