Gail wanted to hit herself after asking this question. How did she forget that Alita was someone with a lot of pride? Did she just unintentionally provoke her and Alita was going to send her away now that she had overstepped her boundaries?
Alita looked at Gail who was looking down and being pitiful like a puppy she reminded Alita of Damari that day when he was like this. Alita regretted not comforting him when she left the house because of her ego.
Maybe it wasn't that bad to let your beloved ones help you after all they were family. This is something that his mother helped her see after she sat down with her.
Alita knew that it was going to be difficult to adjust as she had instilled this belief deep down in her bones.
Alita hated seeing beautiful girls or boys crying, so she quickly placated the other, "umm, if I run short, I will look for you."
