Post-bank robbery, what Gallant actually said was “Does this have anything to do with your strong feelings for me?” He was referring to her distaste. He knew what was really going on, but the whole mess with Bakuda, the Empire, and Leviathan distracted him. His last thoughts as he realized Leviathan’s wave was about to kill him was regret that he hadn’t done more to help Amy.
A closer reading reveals that Gallant *doesn’t* think Panacea loves him—that’s just how readers are supposed to interpret it. He only references strong feelings on Amy’s part, but never actually says what they are. Rather than romantic feelings, he was probably picking up on jealousy or hatred.
Ehhh. I could see it, but if that was the case, he worded himself badly. Having strong feelings for someone is very different from having strong feelings about someone.
I think I prefer the interpretation that he was picking up on the love for Glory Girl that caused the distaste, rather than the distaste itself, because it was a stronger emotion, and assumed it was directed at him because it tended to come to the forefront when she was around him specifically.
