Post Riptide 120 Gilly ramble below

(spoilers)

So, Gillion has had various run-ins with "evil versions of himself" (one in Chip's nightmare sequence, one in the simulation when he was in the Luxbris Pearl, and, of course, Dopple-Gilly). It's been pretty significant all of those times, both narratively and to Gillion himself, as he's said it's a dream of his to fight the evil version of him.

Now he's met the evil version of his sister. Someone he has never truly thought of in a negative light. Someone he has always trusted, and wanted to see again. Someone he probably never considered as *having* an evil version, even when he believed so strongly in Good and Evil. How messed up is that? This other side of his life, now playing into that fantasy he talked about oh so long ago? But it's wrong, because it means fighting someone that is, on some level, his sister. Who he has always wanted to protect, who has always protected him.

When you think you are the Good side of a coin, and fighting an Evil version of yourself is one thing--but this is Edyn. Never in a million (gillion) years.
