Re: [Meanwhile...]
I think . . . trying to remove her, if she didn't want to go . . .
. . . I think someone would be hurt, because the people who like her being with me the least are also the people who hate her the most. And if they were hurt, they'd hate her more for that, even if all she was doing is defending herself. And the people who care about that person would hate her more too, and she'd hate them back, because she's a mirror. She reflects.
And it would go back and forth and back and forth and never end.
