"Well, yes. In the broadest sense of things. But what I'm really trying to convey is that, just because you could manage to do everything on your own in your home world, doesn't mean that you can do it here... and there's no shame in acknowledging that! Every single one of us, we're all dealing with affairs of an exponentially larger scope than what any of us had to contend with in our old lives. Sure, that means it's harder for us to effect change in a meaningful way on an individual basis, but... It's like that one human catch phrase? Um." She taps her claws on her chin for a second, trying to remember how it goes. "Uhhh. OH! 'Every penny counts!' Except you and me, we're both definitely those other coins that are bigger and a bit more valuable than pennies are? We just have to remember that we're still pretty small in the grand scheme of things, and can't d this alone. AND we need to remember that the penny's contributions are still important, too."

She's trying so damn hard to make sense here, and the soul exhaustion is just not doing her any favors.
