Probably. “I’m a monster” is something Amy has been telling herself for some time now, even if she denied it earlier.

Or at least, “I might become a monster”.
“But you see how you could be like us. It wouldn’t even be very hard. Just… let go of those rules of yours. You’d get everything you ever wanted.”
Taylor would fit in better personality-wise, but Amy’s got a really good power and issues Jack can exploit to pull her in.
