I found out something too
Vanessa: rolls her eyes Oh, really? And what was that earth-shattering revelation you discovered? Do tell.

Vanessa: pauses for a moment, processing Stranger's words Wait, what? Are you serious? So, you took on the responsibility of raising someone else's child as your own?
Vanessa: crosses her arms Well, aren't you just a regular saint? Taking on someone else's mess like that. But hey, who am I to judge?

Vanessa: shrugs Just needed some fresh air. This garden happens to be the only place in this whole house that doesn't feel like a prison. You know, sometimes a girl just needs a breath of fresh air.
