PETRA/SCOTTIE.
Well, that doesn't make sense with what I know about magic. Magic's like a magnet, with positive and negative poles. Love is the most powerful positive force on this planet. It defeats dark spells, even at their most-perverted. I think you saw some of that with the kanima? I mean, it's how you became a True Alpha, right? You were acting selflessly.
So why in the flipping hell would a spell born from threefold love and devotion wake up a Nogitsune, who becomes more powerful feeding on negative conflict?
I think there's another player here. And whether Kira's mother is flat-out lying or if she just wants someone to blame because she already feels guilty, I don't know, but there's something else here in my unprofessional, unsolicited opinion.
