Glory Girl didn’t look ‘done’. Scars crawled across her body, angry-looking, surrounded by burns from the acid and flames. Her skin in areas where the flesh had melted away was so new and stretched so thin that it was translucent, and there was little to no body fat to pad the area between skin and muscle.
She looks a bit less, y’know, glorious.
“Fix her,” Tattletale said. “You know what you did to her, you know it was wrong, undo it and walk away.”
Yeah, here we go.
“Can’t,” Amy shook her head, “I said I’ve done as much as I can, but there’s so much more I need to fix. The parts I made with the bits I took from bugs will need to be replaced with real flesh.”
That’s not what Lisa meant and you know it, Amy.
“That’s her choice. You saved her life, good on you, but you need to let her make the call.”
Right, fair enough.
Yet you’re asking Amy to mess with Victoria’s brain again without consent, even if it’s just to set right what she did.
“Why do you care so much? You’re a bad guy.”
That’s a good question. Why does Lisa care so much about this? Does it have to do with her sense of sanctity of her own brain? Or is she just genuinely interested in helping Amy get over some of this stuff and then become a villain?
“Oh yeah,” Tattletale replied in a dry tone, “I’m evil, right? Maybe that’s all the more reason to listen if I’m saying that something’s fucked up and wrong?”
Sounds like it’s closer to the former. If she’s telling the truth.
Also, this puts an interesting perspective on Lisa’s relationship with Alec. He doesn’t make people
emotionally
love him like his dad does (actually, the rape thing is super appropriate in relation to the difference powerwise between Heartbreaker/Cherish and Alec – the other two make people love them emotionally, while Alec used to make people love him physically), but it’s still a connection that could strongly affect Lisa’s opinion on him.
