Amy couldn’t meet Victoria’s eyes. She looked at her hands, appalled at what she had just done.
I really don’t know how to feel about that reveal.
So what did you do? Mess with her brain to change her familial love into something else?
“And Gallant? I was thinking you secretly liked him, but-”
Amy shook her head. “I hated him. I felt jealous because he had you and I never could… but I never acted on those feelings.
I see. And the distancing would be because seeing Victoria grieve over a lost love would be a painful reminder not of her own relationship to the deceased but of Victoria’s.
I never acted on any of my feelings, until just now, and all I want to do is to take that back.”
It really does sound like what she did had to do with making Victoria love her back.
It’s like the superpowered equivalent of an impulsive, non-consensual kiss while in a compromised state of mind.
