“No difference.  Worse if anything,” he said.  She nodded, and he rubbed his chin, thinking.

Yeah, that’s 17.3% worse for you.

“I need some candy, please.”

“No, pet,” Coil said, “I need you focused.  What-”

Dinah seems to think the candy makes her more clear-headed, which sounds backwards, but seems believable that she might think while under its effects.

Then again, maybe she’s right. The interaction between drugs and a thinker power could have odd results.

She interrupted him, which always she tried to avoid doing, but she was feeling desperate.  “Please.  I’ve been using my power a lot.  I’m going to get a bad headache, and then I won’t be useful to you.”

She knows how to appeal to this man who cares about her only for how useful she is.
