Back when Lara's home was just a concept, I went one further: Shema is *a* creator - but from the writer's point of view, she's like the live-in maintenance person. An incredibly well-sighted one, that anticipates problems and performs maintenance to make sure things keep running as they should. And also passes off some of that maintenance to multiple subcontractors, which is how Lara (and others) came to get her unusual special abilities.

So the only interest Shema would have in the Parodyverse is because Lara is interested in it.





I guess the one down side to Anna being way off the course of logic, and reacting emotionally to things, is she can become irrational or traumatized. The only problem for Utilizon is that's unpredictable: While using logic can produce predictable results, he really doesn't know if his treatment of Anna would produce a cowering child or a careless murderer. Anna sobbing in a small cell and waiting for rescue is not very useful to his plan.
