Summary: She has no notion of the scope of his power.



"No one should have that much power."

She has no notion of the scope of his power.  He could literally write his name in the stars.  He could reshape galaxies.  Far more advanced species than hers might worship him as a god.  Not that he wants worship.  A little gratitude would be nice. 

No... from Mia and Yuri mere gratitude would suffice.  From Adelaide, he wants more.  He wants her to comprehend who he is and what he can accomplish.

Much later, with the gunshot echoing in his dreams, he realises that she understood him very well indeed.

Definitely packs a punch. Adelaide did understand him, and she understood, as she pulled out her gun, just how wrongly he'd been using his power.

Oh, yes. Oh yes, exactly!

Short, but it cuts to the core of the matter and socks you in the gut. Very nice!

Yes. This is just... yes. Exactly right.

Your use of italics is fascinating -- it conveys the echoing quality of Ten's own voice in his head, giving the first and last lines a wonderful consistency: the conclusion is the logical development of the premise. It is boggling how well you develop a psychological logic. The reader is shocked, gripped, amazed.
