Okay, I got a question - why's there so many kids here? You can't turn a corner without running into an imPort kid.

[This... may be a slight exaggeration. It almost does feel that way to Tiffany, though; she came through the Porter from a totally kid-less environment. She'd seen child visitors to the prison in passing, but hadn't interacted with one in years until coming here - and that's not even touching on her own vague Kid Issues, which are currently heightened after her conversation with Jesse about her past.]

I mean, it just seems kinda cruel, you know? Porting in a bunch of kids without anyone to look after 'em. I mean, unless the people here are meant to look after 'em, but come on. How many of us are the type? And I know I would've missed my mama something fierce if I was taken to a whole new world when I was little; some weird fucking stranger wouldn't've cut it.

... Hell, I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong; I could be wrong. Never really knew what to do with kids myself, so it ain't like I know how they think - how y'all think.

So never mind, maybe.

Because the times you do stand out more in your mind than the times you don't, that's precisely what confirmation bias is.

Of course, with the Xavier's School in Heropa, there will be many younger imPorts who have reason not to spread out into the other Porter cities. But I'm sure if you recorded the number of days you encounter a younger imPort, the days you don't would likely outweigh them.

It bugs you enough that you felt the need to make a public memo about it. To muse on the cruelty you see in such a thing. That shows, at least, that it has been on your mind.

[ Or maybe he was just looking for something to talk about. That's an idea Kanaya hasn't considered. ]
