Jack's shard lets her manipulate Alexandria

"I ought to tell you that you're young and don't know what you're talking about, that the world doesn't work that way, but maybe it would be nice to at least pretend that something can go right for a change."

I'd been manipulating her the entire conversation, which was harder for her than most because she noticed microexpressions. Tweaking her parasite had helped, of course, but I wasn't outright Mastering her.

There wasn't any point.
