Changed entry to appropriate trope, instead of an aversion


* WouldntHurtAChild: Averted with Dr. Lindemann. He bribes Dugal with chocolate bars to coax him into scanning for Vanessa's whereabouts and ends up depriving him of sleep until Ingram orders him to stop. Eventually, [[spoiler: Lindemann uses Ampalia Nine, a drug that amplifies telepathic powers, to enhance Dugal's telepathy and probe deeper into Vanessa's mind. However, Ampalia Nine destroys brain cells everytime it's used and can eventually render someone as mentally disabled. Dugal, wracked by guilt and aware of Lindemann's evil intentions, decides to kill himself in order to protect Vanessa.]]

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Vanessa is used as a vessel to channel the combined telergy of Professor Raeder's squad. They slip by the telepaths standing guard as Prime Minister Humboldt is fornicating with his mistress. After hypnotising him to send the mistress away from the bed, Raeder's squad project a fiery form of Vanessa's image and scare Humboldt into falling to his death over a balcony. Back in the secluded Scottish house of Raeder, Vanessa redirects the built up telergy of the group back at them, killing them and Raeder in the process. Jenny senses her daughter's distress and screams while being driven to Vanessa's location, causing her startled husband to lose control of the car and crash into another vehicle, which kills him instantly. With both legs amputated, a grief-stricken Jenny later commits suicide. Vanessa's mental age reverts to that of a child. Roland adopts her as his daughter and escapes with her to America, where she dies years later after physically deteriorating. Despite these tragic events, the media exposes the whole debacle and the newly elected government of M.P. Thomas Green reforms the treatment of paranormals.]]
