As if she were some sort of crazy person. Nikki clenches her fists at the thought of having to team with Cassie so soon after this. Madame Divine was right. She should have stayed away from her sister's business, and focused on her duties as an Angel. On taking down Ash.
"I'm fine Amelia, really. My sister just doesn't understand me, that's all." Nikki hesitates for a moment. "But you, and Madame Divine, and Sapphire, you guys are my real family, not her, I see that now. And I don't want there to be any confusion between us. So the truth is, I do hear a voice. And I reply to her. She's my friend, it would be rude not to."
"But sometimes people, people like my sister see that and assume I'm talking to myself. But I'm not. The voice tells me stuff that I don't know, that I wouldn't figure out on my own. She's real."
"But the most important thing is that regardless of what she tells me, I'm the one in control. I always have been and always will be. When we met in that hotel room and you brought out all of those... tools, do you know what the voice wanted? It didn't want us to bond with you the way we did. She wanted us to take you out, permanently. But I chose not to, because I call the shots and I believed you could be our friend and I was right."
"So is this really such a big deal? We work with literal orcs, an android, an alien and demons that have been alive for hundreds of years. Our Jennifer can teleport. This voice in my mind doesn't mean that I'm... crazy. It just means I'm a bit different, like so many of us are. There's nothing to be concerned about."
