Hey guys!
I wanted to give you all a quick explanation of Nomi's power. I originally intended to do this during the story, but I think I missed the chance for it, so I decided I'd just write it out.
I think (I hope lol) that her power will become clearer in future chapters, so if you'd like to find out about her power slowly like that, you can totally skip this. But maybe knowing about it beforehand will make the story more fun to read?
I'm only going to explain to what Nomi knows of her own power, or what I feel that you, as the audience, should know.
Okay, explanation starting now:
Nomi's power is based around secrets.
It's a little similar to mind reading, except she's not reading minds so much as if she's just gaining information as if she had always known it.
The information she gains is "the secret that the person wants to hide the most at that moment."
Okay, I don't know if that makes any sense. Let me use an example:
When Nomi was trying to get Gina to share her secret crush, Gina did not want to share. So, the secret that Gina wanted to hide at that moment was the identity of her crush. Yes, it is possible that Gina has other, larger secrets, but at THAT moment, the secret that Gina wanted to keep hidden the most was the identity of her crush. Nomi's power reacted to that strong feeling, so Nomi became suddenly aware of who Gina's crush is. Nomi now knows who Gina's crush is with absolute certainty that she is correct.
A key factor of her power is that she doesn't have any control over it, and it seems to be changing. It occurs with more frequency now, and she's starting to get bad headaches whenever it activates. She currently does not know why it is changing.
Nomi does not particularly like or dislike her power. It has never done anything for her, but it's never done anything against her, either. But, she gets the feeling that it's related to the reason why she always goes unnoticed, so while she's pretty apathetic about the whole thing, she thinks maybe it would be better not to have it, if she ever got the chance. Especially now that it's starting to hurt her and it's all completely out of her control.
I'm going to just say that it's a "psychic power" to fit the theme of the show, but I think that it's more that she got this power instead of the golden glow of perfection that her siblings got.
I really hope this makes sense, and I really hope that I didn't make you guys even MORE confused TT
Well, while I'm talking, I should say that I have a general outline of where I'm taking the story, but if you guys have any suggestions or things you'd like to see, I'd love to hear them!
With love,
