Summary
"Everything had turned out not the way she had anticipated. If the woman was honest with herself – then she had not planned ahead at all, too blinded by her fervent wish of retribution to see anything beyond it. What she had willingly given to the government was sufficient in the end – for the mighty had fallen. ... Her own emotions by that time had fled somewhere, leaving just hints of something drowning quickly in apathy, so she took it as information that it was – nothing more than that. In the end she had been triumphant, although no feelings of any kind had resurfaced within her, just a smidge of self-righteous satisfaction in the vast sea of nothingness.
Even if she had anticipated her future, then it would not have been any fairytale that she’d expected. (Charles’) Raven had wanted an idyll within the illusionary utopia of her powerful and naïve brother, but Mystique knew better."
