I have no doubt you will recognize her, if it's actually the Mind Stone's voice and not merely nightmares my own mind is conjuring up. It's a force that existed at the dawn of my universe, and will continue to exist until the very end.
I would never expect you to apologize or regret your own gifts and nature. I'm admitting my own fear because I think...because you value honesty and therefore I wish to give you as much of it as I can. But individuality is something I value as much as I do self-determination.
I always thought I was inherently grey, and easily pushed into the dark. I have both indulged that darker nature and fought tooth and nail against it, with very little difference in the results except that the more I fight the more exhausted I feel. Identity and purpose is something I have struggled with since I was a child. It's taken so much work to get to where I am now...and there will be more work ahead of me, possibly for as long as I live.
But it means something, what you've told me. I'm not a monster.
