Growing up in the Levine household, Aliya was taught a lot of things. Many of which revolved around a scalpel and a whole host of other fancy medical terminology that an eight year old couldn't possibly wrap her head around, but the others were more basic life lessons children were usually, more commonly, taught by their parents or guardians.
One of those so called basic life lessons was that everyone deserved a second chance, or whatever.
In an ideal fantasy land full of sunshine and rainbows, Aliya would like to say she believed in second chances but, she found that they never really went very well.
Her life was full of second and third chances, and they never ended particularly pleasant for both parties involved.
She gave Elijah a multitude of chances, and that only ended up with her slamming a door in his face and moving across the country.
She gave Mark a second chance, and that whole endeavour only ended up in tears and tequila.
Aliya did ultimately however like to believe in the goodness of people, but she was also very hyper aware of the fact that a vast majority of the people who inhabited this world were complete and total assholes, and were guaranteed to let you down in the long run. It was just what this particular cynic had come to expect.
So at the end of the day, it could be argued one Aliya Levine didn't actually believe in the goodness of people, even though she pretended too.
It was just the way the world worked. The moon orbits the sun. The Earth rotates on its axis. Human will always let each other down.
Meredith Grey pressed a palm to her forehead with a sigh. "Izzie leaves, and Mark gets a kid, and you two decide that the best way to deal is to get drunk and mash your genitals together?"
Aliya paused in the doorway and grimaced at the conversation she had just accidentally walked in on, setting her bag down onto the table. "Ew, Mer, could you have chosen a better way to say that?" She shuddered and wandered to the cupboard, pulling out the pouch of coffee beans and trying to ignore that Meredith had just described sex as mashing your genitals together.
