She cuts away part of herself and then sees it killed, over and over, in order to fight. Whichever one is left over survives. There is no "original her" anymore. The fact that she's become so okay with that, so casual, might explain part of her callous attitude towards Undine. Experiencing 'death' every day is part of the job for her, so she sees no reason to be nice about it."''

I have years of Peter Parker's childhood memories rolling around in my head... And time has gone by, and those memories have faded, and my feelings about my connection to him have faded and--- And I've become this other thing. I'm not Peter Parker. I'm not Peter Parker.
