Continued to take Parahuman courses online while in hospital.<ref name="5.6">“I used to admire that side of you.  It was a good thing when you were doing the physio, and when you were watching those videos of university classes.  Which were ''incredibly'' boring, I’m sorry.”<br/><br/>“They were the highlight of my day.”<br/><br/>“They were ''so'' boring.  I don’t know how you make powers boring, but they managed.  But you had the mental fortitude to push through it.”<br/><br/>“I enjoyed it,” I said.  “Really.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/03/17/shadow-5-6/ Excerpt] from [[Shadow 5.6]]</ref> Had various forms of therapy so she could adapt to her circumstances.<ref name="5.4">It made me think of the hospital.  Of a time shortly before she’d left with Weld.  A couple of weeks before, maybe.  Physiotherapy, working on my manual dexterity, they’d given us video games and controls we could use.  Sveta had done a lot of it, and picked up more of it for the social aspect, so she’d joined me to egg me on.<br/>[...]<br/>It was a bittersweet memory, which was about as good as things had gotten, then.  Two or so weeks later, Weld had gone to see her.  I could remember her anticipation leading up to the meeting.  She’d been so upset over the Case fifty-threes defecting en-masse from the Protectorate and Wards, and Weld’s visit had turned that around.<br/><br/>It hadn’t gone well.  I wasn’t sure exactly what had happened.  Then Weld had come to see me.  He’d treated me with more human decency than I’d had out of anyone but my therapists, patient advocate, or the other patients for months.  He’d been patient, ignored my ramblings, he’d been gentle, asked what he could do for me.  It couldn’t have been easy.  I’d been a mess.<br/><br/>I’d convinced him to go back to her, with a renewed perspective.  Later on, I’d given them my blessings.  She’d walked away from the hospital with her hero and freedom.  Weld had gotten my only real friend and one of my only unabashed, unpaid-for allies. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/03/06/shadow-5-4/ Excerpt] from [[Shadow 5.4]]</ref>

Around this time she got her parents to tell her about what had originally happened with Marquis.<ref>There were other thoughts.  In trying to get my parents to talk about Amy, the Wretch had typed out one word, asking for the story we’d never really gotten to hear in full.<br/><br/>M-A-R-Q-U-I-S.<br/><br/>My dad had told the tale.  Somewhere in there he’d said something about Marquis’ prize- Amy.  I remembered because anything to do with Amy had been something to fixate on, back then.  I remembered because there was something to the story that connected with what my mom had said, about the villains and their treasures.  Connecting those dots had helped bring the already vivid mental picture of the scene to life. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/07/21 Excerpt] from [[Beacon 8.6]]</ref>
