Juju I JUST read this scene and had to put down the book bc I was like “how tf does this make any sense?”

Also why were the Guardians there to kill the Fulcrum anyway? Aren’t they doing the SAME THING on found moon by continuing to train orogenes? Like, hypocritical much?

Feeling kind of thrown off by these characters motivations — hopefully this group continues to provide clarity...

Danica From the things she was saying and the way she was thinking at that point I think she believed that the Fulcrum way of doing things was bad and that they break orogenes also making them bad. She says something along the lines of the Fulcrum way being the reason her mother could never love her, etc. Since all of the people in the Antarctic Fulcrum had already gone through the hand breaking I think she assumed that they were all beyond "saving" and already well on the road to turning out like the elders of the Fulcrum. But she also has started to see herself as a monster for being born an orogene; I can only assume she starting to think that all orogenes are monsters so that probably helped in the decision making.
