[It's as distant a statement he can make, she thinks. She can taste the honesty of what he says, feel that he believes it, but he still doesn't take a firm stance for or against the pirates which perhaps only confirms her own statement that a person and the circumstances of their life cannot be so easily categorized and labeled.
But for all that he tries to speak of people at large, he manages to say a great deal that resonates with Wanda. After all, she can at least admit to herself that she's spent most of her life wondering what would have happened if her family's apartment hadn't been shelled. Would she and Pietro have had better lives? Would their parents have been able to support them even as they were older, despite the hardships that sometimes came with living in Novi Grad? One thing is for certain. She never would have let Pietro convince her to submit to the experiments of Hydra if it weren't for their desperate circumstances and the state of the war that raged in the streets.
Instead, the twins had both been pushed to take desperate risks, and for a time made villains of themselves in hopes of bettering the lives of their people.]
Desperation can change a person more than they ever would have thought possible. Especially if they think the risks are worth it... [For the greater good. For their loved ones. For whatever drove them to do terrible things in the first place.]
