If I truly did not want her death, would I be able to think a way to save her? Was it my hate that was blocking an answer? Would I be

she dies, and I could have saved her if I’d wanted to…who am I then?

I do. And that’s who you are, Wanda. But…but what if I could do both? What if I could save her life and
keep everyone here safe at the same time? 2013: 675
