[Given what she'd seen in that cave, Hermione has a different sort of viewpoint on abominations than most others in Thedas might. They're dangerous, yes. But they're also people. They have family, friends. And she could easily become one of them. That's what scares her the most, really; the idea that she could turn into something that would mark her as a target for those who'd once looked at her as a friend.]

Like rifters. And mages. So I should be thankful just to be alive, never mind for having never seen the inside of the dungeons.

[Another moment of silence passes before she looks up, meeting Bruce's eyes once again.]

Or is that an inevitable next step? Lock up all the rifters and kill the ones who can do magic before they have the chance to turn into monsters?
