Twenty or thirty people she’s taken apart. However many others she’s tortured to death.
She didn’t say “to death”, but I wouldn’t put it past her.
Bonesaw smiled, “And I know the secrets. I know where powers come from. I know how they work. I know how your power works.
Okay, but does she actually? Has she figured out the involvement of the Dandelions and managed to take notes on them?
You have to understand, people like you and me? Who got our powers in moments of critical stress? The powers aren’t meant for us. They’re accidents. We’re accidents. And I think you could see it if you were touching someone when they had their trigger event.”
Hmmm.
I’m not sure I buy that. With the way Hana’s trigger event was depicted as involving the death of a Dandelion, maybe, but Scrub’s trigger event made things seem premeditated by the Dandelions.
But Taylor wasn’t touching Scrub at the time. She was quite a distance away from him, in fact. So maybe touching does make a difference in what you see.
Or maybe it lets you remember, for some reason?
“I don’t understand.”
“You don’t have to. What you need to know is that the subjects of our power, the stuff it can work on, like people? Like the fish lady in Asia? The boy who can talk to computers? Our powers weren’t created to work with those things. With people or fish or computers. It’s not intentional. It happens because the powers connect to us in the moments we have our trigger events, decrypt our brains and search for something in the world that they can connect to, that loosely correlate with how the powers were originally supposed to work.
Okay, yeah, this makes sense. Bonesaw is suggesting that, for example, Bitch’s power was originally meant to empower something, and only after connecting to Bitch did it become a power to empower wolves.
In those one to eight seconds it takes our powers to work, our power goes into overdrive, it picks up all the necessary details about those things, like people or fish or computers, sometimes reaching across the whole world to do it.
Interesting. In Bitch’s case, it would “learn” things about wolves, and dogs because they’re closely related.
Then it starts condensing down until there’s a powerset, stripping away everything it doesn’t need to make that power work.”
But how do these things relate to Taylor? How did Taylor’s brain in the moment cause the power to latch onto “bugs”? Was it because of the uncomfortableness of the situation?
And how do you explain powers like Scrub’s? Did it latch on to “nothingness”? ”Destruction”?
