"No." she says quietly, falling silent for a moment as she looks down at the white bedsheets covering her legs.
"That kinda escalation is what brought me here in the first place." she finally says. "And who knows what kind of power he'd tap into eventually that'd let him work around whatever you do to him. I mean I'm pretty sure he snapped his own neck during our fight. And if you break his mind now then who's to say you won't do it again to someone less deserving?" she goes on, looking up at Haley with a strange glow in her eyes, unfocused, almost staring through her. She's clenching her hand and digging her fingernails into her palm. The mirror in her mind's eye is sending pulses of pain through her head, but she can place the idea of Haley's lobotomizing Hazard in his cell in the mirror and trace the resulting cracks to get a glimpse of the consequences. Has to to keep herself from telling Haley to go and turn that lunatic's mind into mashed potatoes.
The strange echo or dejavu that Haley had often felt from Nailah when she used her power is gone, instead she can get a vague impression of the cracks of pain shooting through her friend's head.
