It's a rather difficult thing to answer. Partially since it involves exposing some personal details - although as she's mentally calculating it, she feels like it's not too personal to the point that she can't share anything at all in this case - but also just since it's a very complicated situation to explain all around.
So Alice is quiet for a moment, but then looks away from him and off into the distance as she speaks.
"There is this place I often visited." Except it kind of was in her head, but that's the complicated part she's going to opt to leave out. "When I was little. But at one point, something changed about it. It was odd before, sure, but it was also very peaceful. But when that place changed, hostile beings and monsters appeared everywhere."
That's the part she can still force to sound normal, but it's the next part that's harder.
"I had no choice but to fight them. To try and get the place to go back to how it used to be. It may sound odd, but that place felt like it was mine. It was like a home to me. I couldn't just let it be the way it had turned out."
