Can read Alexandria's mind

"Would that be such a bad thing?" she asked, watching me closely. "Why try to save something that's rotten to the core and about to collapse under its own weight anyway?"

As though she and her people hadn't had a hand in making Earth Bet this way. Her mind was harder to read than most; I hadn't been lying when I said that many of her memories had been uploaded into her parasite, but I could see enough of her memories to know that Cauldron was a lot blacker than I would have thought. They'd thought they had good reasons for everything they did, but there was a casual cruelty there.
