People were judgmental, she knew, and so she would never speak of what she had seen in that moment she received her gift.
I guess it would particularly upset some religious groups. And scientists, certainly.
The Lovecraft fans, on the other hand… Well, that depends on whether my unfounded hypothesis on the Endbringers is accurate or not.

The notion that this thing she had seen was something other than a benign entity watching over humanity, that it might be malign, or even worse, that it existed with no conception of the effect it had on mankind? An elephant among gnats? It wasn’t a comfortable thought.
That last one is pretty typical of Lovecraftian horrors.
Though again, I’ve never read any actual Lovecraft literature.
