thinking about veega and leela again... i know unity is set up as this dump at the end of the universe, but like especially as rayo gets older and its gets harder and harder to survive and more of the people who live nearby go missing or move away, why don't they?
how many hushed arguments do leela and veega have where leela tries to persuade veega that she can take them somewhere else, that she can take them somewhere better and safer? and veega puts her foot down because rayo is just a child and she won't uproot his whole world, or put him in danger, or risk their lives for some dream of running away somewhere that doesn't exist, because unity might be a dump but at least here they're safe from the war. at least here that isn't going to touch them
because leela's always been good at walking away from difficult situations, and veega's seen enough difficult situations to know that sometimes staying put is better. and at the end of the day, rayo comes first, so on unity they stay. but how much is leela fantasising about the life where she can take them away and give them something better?
