      Quote:
      As I see it the Hood has set Faite a trap. The more she identifies with individual humans the more tempting it is to help them; in minor ways first to solve little problems or make them happy, then in bigger and bigger ways. If a schoolmate who's become a friend is due to get run over in a car accident the temptation is to prevent it, with all the future ramifications that implies. If a friend suffers a broken heart the temptation is to fix it, to deliver happy endings or dire punishments where they're deserved. Soon everyone's a doll in Faite's personal playground and she has to be taken down by her peers.



    Quote:
    If it's a trap it's not a very good one; Faite *wants* to feel all those things. It beats the lonely separation she felt before. Her reasoning is really quite simple.


The Hood benefits either way, whether Faite is troubled or grateful.


    Quote:
    Faite definitely knows the dangers of helping out - that inevitably, those people she helps will realize she's holding back significantly and allowing bad things to happen - and they won't just accept that she had her reasons.


It's hard to explain to somebody why you won't save their baby.


    Quote:
    But, this is also an excerise for her to learn to explain things to people who don't really understand. She's learning to communicate.


Enlightenment is one of the greatest interventions.
