Miss Militia suffered a mixture of pain, crying blood, and memory loss (remember, her power is supposed to prevent this, so it's really messing with her). Taylor, by contrast, suffered an emotional containment failure: all that stress, angst, fear, and other inconvenient experiences she's too busy with the Hunt to properly sort through comes crashing down and breaks her self-control.

Taylor's started picking up on things that aren't being said (names, implications, fragments of memory) and experiencing non-physical sensations (the pressure of Master Willem's attention, for example.)

--> And it was a thing, there was no misjudging that-- it couldn't be anything else. Sophia saw legs, too many mismatched legs and arms, jutting from an animal trunk. She saw a face, stretched out to grotesque proportions like a muzzle, and a mouth filled with huge blocky teeth and a jaundiced tongue. She saw a mass, a moving writhing grasping opening near what might have been a neck, and she saw it staring back at her. The creature moved, lumbered towards them like it was alive, like it was an actual thing and not a collection of parts that did not fit.
