Wanting to. It's such a strange concept. No one ever asked her back home if she did or didn't want anything - they just forced her.
But maybe it's exactly because he's giving her a choice that she finds herself actively wanting to. He told her a lot too, after all. It's only fair. Not to mention that what he's saying actually gives her an idea of where to start.
"It was like that for me too, everything suddenly changing. It never felt like things could change like that before it happened, right? To a point where the mundanity of life almost got boring." The same mundanity that often lead to her fleeing into her mental Wonderland.
"But then one day, when I was young, an acquaintance of my father, a doctor.. he snuck into our home, killed my older sister, and then burned down the house to hide his crime. My parents died in the fire, but I managed to barely escape the house thanks to my cat showing me the way. But I was hurt, covered in burns, and badly traumatized by it all. No one wanted to deal with a child like that, so they locked me up in Rutledge Asylum for ten years, just to get me out of the way. Since no one knew the true cause of the fire, people even speculated I had started it and killed my family myself."
