Quote: The Hood benefits either way, whether Faite is troubled or grateful.
Faite doesn't think of the Hood as her enemy, so she doesn't really mind if he benefits. She's only irritated when he purposely gives her extra work to do, because she feels he should know better.
Quote: It's hard to explain to somebody why you won't save their baby.
The point is to learn. You'll see in the next Mysteries of Faite chapter that part of the task she gave herself was to learn to communicate awful things to people.
Quote:
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.
Quote: Enlightenment is one of the greatest interventions.
You have to remember, Faite is very strange in her motivations. She knows the possibilities of what can happen, and can feel the balance of the universe. The one thing she can't control, and doesn't want to, is how people feel, react, and behave. It's something she never thoroughly understood, and now she wants to, so she's willing to put herself through all sorts of things to see how it works.
The hard part of her new task is trying to integrate it with what she is, and what she's capable of. She sees that not as a failure, but as part of the challenge. That's also why she wouldn't even stop the Hooded Hood from using it to his advantage - it's part of the experience of understanding.
