Jin Xueli realized once again that no matter the situation, a small part of her would probably always be detached, her head somewhere in the clouds.
For instance, while she was verbally sparring with Jacqueline, the depths of her mind were churning with several thoughts completely useless to her present circumstances:
'Could it be that the more complex a person's mind is, the more likely they are to develop a Path?'
'Does a person's personality have anything to do with whether they can enter a Nest? Seems like a worthy research topic, doesn't it? Are there Nest scientists?'
'Speaking of personality, was Jacqueline's character a product of her wealthy environment, or did she get rich precisely because she's this type of person?'
Logically, anyone facing a life-or-death situation wouldn't value their own life at just a fraction of their savings—and Jacqueline was no exception.
