Eridan's mention of going back to his world struck a strange chord in Kanaya. She pretty much had zero hope for returning to her universe, and the same amount of desire to. Rightfully, returning to her timeline would mean being erased in the Scratch. And, despite being resigned to her removal from existence previously, this second chance has restored her aversion to dying. This tower wasn't exactly savory, but at least she was alive.

"Then I suppose my best advice to you is for you to be yourself," she suggested distantly, preoccupied with the musings on her doomed universe. "Exercise caution around your Sollux, but begin a clean slate for all of the new people you meet. Simply having purple blood is enough for some people, regardless of behavioral expectations."

Kanaya gave a sigh after that, tugging the sheets up so she could replace her legs on the bed and lay back again. "I apologize. I don't really know what else to say."
