The man who follows the crowd will usually get no further than the crowd. The man who walks alone is likely to find himself in places no one has ever been.

For a girl who has been worried about becoming like Jacob for months (her time; years our time), she’s sure sensitive about it now.  Maybe she’s just in shock.  The stages of shock involve denial and anger, don’t they?

Roger: Girii!
Girii: I...'m okay...didn't think...it would hurt that much.
Roger: What did you expect? Remember, once you punched me and gave yourself a black eye?
Girii: I know, but...I have to do this. Have to be strong. Do what's necessary.
Roger: Damn, Girii. You sound just like Jacob.
Girii: I am nothing like Jacob!

    geeze just googled it, grief is up to 7 stages, shock, denial, anger, bargaining, depression, testing and acceptance
    shock just came up with 4 stages that are medical related, initial, compensatory, progressive and refractory.
    so we could have initial shock to the pain of feeling someone else shot along with depression/testing grief that she caused it and denial at becoming like Jacob, either way wouldnt want to be in her shoes right now

    Don’t mistake my text after the image for a genuine question, Barzha. I’m just making playful banter and throwing clues out for the readers. Remember that I know exactly what’s going on, in this page and the next. 🙂

    Is Girii going to exploring the dark side?

  4. ben says:

    Huh, as an emotion reader, she should know the real Jacob better than any ordinary human could. So it seems a bit odd that she’s so upset by the comparison.

    Girii, you are killing people because you think it is in everyone’s best interest, and you are not happy about it. I can’t think of a better description of Jacob Doe.
