"You must live in a world where humans are friendly and understanding. The consequences for telling a human that you are not one of them makes it complicated. They fear, they outcast, and they judge.

If I were to reveal myself at home no doubt I would be cast from the social order, my family would lose their wealth for associating with a 'monster' and that is simply how it is. My world is not as understanding and advanced as yours. Even one of these 'microwaves' we have here would scare them."
