Eheheheheheh. *rubs hands together*

She genuinely believes that she'll be able to hold back and do the right thing. She's downright defensive about it--she got into a shouting match in a post the other day when someone told her "oh eff it, at the end of the day you need to do what makes you happy". I suspect the defensiveness is born of a deep-seated, very five-year-old sense of "But don't wanna." However, it's the right thing to do, and of course it's putting someone else ahead of her own wants/needs, which is nearly pathological with her sometimes.

I have not yet sat down and figured out what could and could not stop her shadow, apart from what was discussed in the thread itself--manifestation takes a lot out of her, if it's sustained, and if there's no light, there's no shadow. It'll also be a while before she meets the Batman, since I have a ways to go with her storyline, to get her to a point where she's doing stuff that's going to make him go find her and go "dude, knock it off, okay?"

She is, of course, completely oblivious to even the existence of a moustache, let alone any associated twirling. It's a joy to have her trusting nature be taken advantage of, for once, to have it played and exploited intelligently and deliberately rather than seen as something to dote on or like her for. She's completely buying everything he's laid out, and genuinely believes they're good friends, and he's someone she can rely on and look up to.

I heart you, too. And well, he wouldn't really be Sylar if there wasn't some greedy bastardry going on, right? :)
