It wasn’t that she wouldn’t have anyways. She just would have liked the choice.
Ah, okay. Yeah, I see what you mean.
Making sacrifices and doing good deeds wasn’t actually good if you were forced to do them.
True that.
Dragon wished she knew what she’d said to Skitter. She had been hoping to have a conversation with the young villain and discuss some of what had apparently come up at the hospital. Skitter had been undercover, had been in touch with Armsmaster, but something had happened since, and the girl had apparently committed to villainy.
Honestly, this is a good point: The PRT has no idea why Skitter remains a villain.
She was even accepting the use of Regent’s powers, which implied a moral shift on a fundamental level. It didn’t sit right.
I mean… to some extent. There has been a moral shift, it seems, but it’s also consistent with pre-Extermination Taylor. She’d be uncomfortable with it, yes, but she’d probably accept it if it were absolutely necessary. It also helps that their victim was Sophia.
There was a missing piece in that puzzle, and any clues in the conversation between them had been lost when the Cawthorne unit had been obliterated.
I don’t think she lost much on that front, honestly, but I also feel like I should go back and reread their conversation sometime, because this might be read like “nudge nudge there’s a hint back there that Dragon doesn’t remember”.
