[ angie's voice has been falling flatter and flatter through this conversation.] You are falling for an illusion of what you find familiar, you wraith. A routine, practiced until it sits by rote. I have no heart. I am merely adapt at facsimile.
Allow me to give a hands-on example.
[ do you still feel afraid, splash?
you feel more. you feel more and more and more afraid. ]

[ he's terrified. he's so terrified that he wants to freeze and scream and run away, all at the same time.
but that's the secret. he's been terrified all along. he's been terrified ever since he woke up three years ago.
he starts laughing. ]
Hahahahaha. Wow! If this was a bet, I'd be losing horrendously right now! Luckily Miss Azdaja's not here. I gotta apologize to her later for doubting her...

When you imagine bad things happening to them, it's like having part of you torn away, isn't it? You want to protect them so much that it hurts. You'd rather claw away your own skin than have them die on your watch.
That's why you did it. Shepherd.

[ yes. maybe. no. they never had the chance to find out what would have happened, even. he just went mad chewing at the bit that it COULD. ]

She didn't say it was Blossom. She just said --
[ in perfect recitation and a startlingly accurate Azdaja impression, body language and all ]
"Everyone here got sorted into different groups upon arrival, each with a designated color. Those of us with bells on our collars are mind controlled into wanting to stay with our "flocks". A black collar means you're not beholden to that, so you're more free than we are in that regard. Congrats."
Blossom admitted to being the summoner, so it's obviously her doing!
