Seth was slightly taken aback by Lucy's response, though he did not outwardly show it. He'd known there was something different about her, but clearly things were more complicated than he'd anticipated. He thought for a moment about what she'd asked him, about whether he would be willing to give up this safe, normal life that he had been living for the past few years, and it didn't take him long to come up with an answer. 

"This normalcy is a lie. We only see what Ultimatum wants us to see, hear what they want us to hear. This normal life we're living isn't one that we got to choose for ourselves, it was assigned to us by people most of us will never even meet. If you're asking me if I'm content coming to this boring class every day, listening to these government issued lessons, and never asking questions, or learning the truth, then your answer would be no." Seth said just loudly enough for Lucy to hear him. His expression more serious than normal.

"Our lives are our own, not Ultimatum's. So it is our right to choose what we do with them, for better or for worse. You're not the only one here with ambition, you know, as hard as it may be for you to believe. If you want me to stay away from you for personal reasons, let me know. But don't expect to scare me off with cryptic warnings, simply based off of your assumptions." He finished in a vaguely casual sort of way, before getting to his feet, and walking off to his desk to await Mr. Henderson's arrival. Before too long, class started up again, and Seth spent the duration of Mr. Henderson's lectures thinking about what Lucy had said to him.

Was Lucy some sort of rebel? Or perhaps she was a criminal in hiding. He didn't know anything about her, aside from the fact that she was clearly different from most of the other students here. But even so, if she was in some sort of trouble, and there was something he could do to help her, he had to at least try. Either way, he suddenly felt the urge to finish up the secret projects he'd been working on at home. He had the feeling that things might get more interesting in the near future, and he may just end up needing his newest creations ahead of schedule.
