She forced the Creditor to experience the "Friction" of the Detroit ruins, the "Grief" of the "Amethyst-Shedding," and the "Chaos-Amber" of the new world.

Her vision turned dark, but she could hear Meredith’s eerie voice saying, “How unfortunate. This is a child who just came to this world. This child was a chubby and cute baby with flesh and blood. However, this child has become ashes now. “Jeremy said the b*stard child deserves this. Who told you to keep upsetting me? “Oh, this b*stard child was a girl.

"She wanted me to think she was the villain, the cruel stepmother, so I wouldn't have to carry the hatred of my two brothers. She was sacrificing her own reputation to save my heart. But the grappa? That was laced with more than just ghost peppers. I overheard the doctor talking on the phone. It was cut with a powerful pharmaceutical that destroys short-term memory.
