Case Study: Morgan Pastore

Last modified by Charter Agent 6GQ

We may have to rethink our stance on empaths, especially when we consider that Morgan and her twin brother Lex are a binary system.

Evidence: Lex created a formula that captured the essence of Spring, a season on Earth. He wanted to test this on his pet hamster Nimsesku, but Morgan intervened, quickly eating the formula herself before the hamster could be put at risk. We have a recording of this incident.

[Sounds of a struggle as Morgan grabs the formula from Lex.]

Lex: Oh… what were you thinking?

Morgan: You know what I was thinking!

Lex: But, oh my god – we don’t know anything, I… I… it’s not all mine, I have no idea what’s going to happen to you! You could turn into a tree or you might throw up and…

Morgan: And you were going to do that to Nimsesku! Idiot! Jerk! Don’t you look at me! You’re just a stone, you’re so stupid!

Lex: Morgan? Morgan!

We can see in the above transcript that Morgan acts like a conscience, something lacking in the Lex portion of the twins’ binary system.

In the days that followed, Morgan developed an affinity for plant life. Under the influence of some children’s book, Morgan created her own secret garden in a closet underneath the stairs. The plants should have died without access to proper sunlight, but they thrive under her care.

Morgan on her own is not much of a threat. It’s the binary system of Lex/Morgan that worries us. They feed off each other. What if we removed her brother from the equation? What then?
