She could see those futures unfolding. He would. She could see the pain and the sickness she experienced, the full brunt of her power without her candy to take the edges off, complete with all of the details she didn’t want.
Abstinence symptoms can be a bitch.
And on top of that, it sounds like the power is genuinely harder to deal with without the drugs.
Worst of all were the feedback loops. To go through withdrawal from the drugs, from her ‘candy’, while simultaneously being able to see and experience echoes of the future moments where she was suffering much the same way?
Oh jeez, ouch.
Also, confirmed, she knows exactly what the “candy” is.
It was a massive increase in the pain and being sick and mood swings and insomnia and feeling numb and skin-crawling hallucinations. There was no limit to these echoes, the feedback from her futures. It would never kill her, knock her out or put her in a coma, no matter how much she might want it to.
Yeeeah, any form of illness with this power sounds like hell.
