[Trunks winced in sympathy, as it was clear how much she regret it. He's quiet for a bit before speaking.]
My mother, was Goku's best friend. They'd been friends since she was 16, and he was 10. From all I've heard, I believe that she feels his greatest strength isn't that he was the greatest defender Earth has ever known. His greatest strength, is also his biggest weakness--that he'll forgive. He'll give you chance, after chance. Even to people who don't seem to deserve it, and certainly don't want it.
[Like his father; come to Earth on an extermination mission, get beaten soundly. Flee to another planet, get humiliated and die there, and then wished back to a planet you hated having failed to achieve your dream. This was part of why Trunks wanted to understand, to know his father more. The man he'd glimpsed both was, and wasn't who his Mother had told him about.]
I'm not used to having friends...given I've grown up in a world where you could die, easily, at the whim of some psychotic humanoid-machine. Gohan, when he was older, was the closest I've had. He saved me, taught me...
[Not sure what else to say, or how. Except he got it--as much as he could considering their backgrounds were so different. He believed in redemption, and Sunset Shimmer didn't seem like a bad person to him.]
I know I was glad to have you with me, in the village. You could've left me behind, and I wouldn't have blamed you.
