Realisation

Diana was watching this whole ugly scene from a tree she was sitting in about 40 yards away. She had watched in shock at the sadness and violence she had created by her persuasion in love. Although she had spent her whole adult life messing with other people's – or mutant's – love lives, she had never stuck around long enough to see the effects. I guess it's also a factor that I messed with two people in the same situation, she thought. She'd never changed more than one person in the same time and place before. If this was how it affected people when she messed with two people, then she was responsible for years of unhappiness and grief for all the people she'd manipulated before. I can't do this, Diana realised. I can't decide who should love who, it's not up to me. Diana climbed back down the tree, watching her step. I know what I have to do to make up for my past mistakes. And so, with her new found conscience, Diana walked deep into the forest to find the four lost lovers.
