Nausicaa flinches.

"That makes no sense! Who'd do that?"

Sue's slowly pulling her hand away from her head.

"It does. It - "

"I remember being scared."

"It hurt. I - didn't know what was going on."

"And then - there wasn't anything at all."

"I - that was a nightmare, that didn't happen - "

She shakes her head. "I don't know."

"Loki - what's going on?"

Deep breath.

"I - found out this world's... Overlaid over a different reality. It's - I think a kind of shared illusion. Everyone's memories were altered to fit. It's - it's perfect, everything's perfect, in ways - places just can't be - "

Nausicaa's shaking her head, but she's - upset, in a way she wouldn't be if she fully didn't believe that -

"That makes more sense than it should."

"Who though - "

"A - friend of mine. Thought it might be Cecilia Maximoff. Your mother. She's - powerful. Maybe enough."

"Her powers - they don't work like that - "

Nausicaa goes quiet.

"They do, though."

"They're - whatever we want, as long as we want it hard enough, the right way."

"And 'a perfect world' is an easy thing to want."

"Especially one where your kids are alive."

" - Nausicaa?" Sue asks, sucking in a sharp breath.

"That's what - you were remembering, isn't it?"

"I - "

"We died."

"That'd be all the motive she'd need, wouldn't it?"

"...Yeah. Mom - really loves us. And - worries more than she should, if - in a perfect world."

"This sucks."

"Yeah. It all does."

"I'm - not sure what I'm going to do. My plan pretty much ended at talking to you guys."

" - Do we know what'll happen to me and Nausicaa if this reality - breaks?"

Loki breathes in, sharply.

"No."

She - doesn't want to be trapped, doesn't want her friends to die - (again?)

"...We can't let her just - mind control people - "

"Yeah. It's obviously not complete - probably thin, I kinda feel a - almost compulsion to just set this aside - "

"But it's not overriding."

"It's a new set of chains, but chains can be broken."

"And - "

Nausicaa closes her eyes, focusing...

"I don't think it's stable."
