[Camille clucks her tongue. It feels strangely nervewracking to broach the subject, no matter the intention.]
I know there's a lot of things that have gone wrong, even before you got here. I don't pretend to understand all of it, but I'm...well.
[She sighs, shrugging. Just rip the bandaid off, come on.]
I was told the wishes can't affect much about how this place works. [Couldn't help Kate. Can't help Ash, not that way.]
I guess I'm wondering, since I've got a wish to burn and no real emergency to use it on, if there's something you wanted instead. For yourself, or someone you know.
God. Even when you've got a deus ex machina at your fingertips, the world's too fucked to fix. I don't know where to start, Ash. I hope things can change for you. And for all the kids stuck in it with you.
[She purses her lips.]
If you do think of something, let me know? I'm serious. I don't care about who's earned what. I'd rather use it on something that could make a difference, no matter how close it is or isn't to me.

You could use it on something that's not an emergency, you know.

[Uses this wish to push the woke agenda]
What about your friends back home? Everything that's going on there? Nothing I could do to help with that?

[ camille wishes for UBI and free healthcare ]
No. The situation's too complicated for me to even know what to wish for, let alone ask someone else to do anything about it.

[ future ashlyn: or not i guess ]
But still no. I don't want anyone else's wish. I won't take it.
