Re-reading through this has reminded me, this read through I picked up that Miasma comments that she could never figure out how Kacey always seemed to be able to figure out that she was in an illusion. Obviously, this is no small feat given how capable Miasma was and the implication that Kacey in both time lines had this capability. Its likely that future-Maverick never had the same interactions with Vostok and the side-effects this has (mentioned later in the chapter). So, This leads me to contemplate what is the origin of this resistance? Is it a product of her natural willpower and determination? Her mindset? Training? Perhaps its a quirk of her trauma and experiences at the hands of a certain clown? Or maybe it’s a hitherto undiscovered power.
In this instance her escape is in part due to the training Vostok has given her, and, how she was rescued from Miasmas illusion. But, there is a possibility that this has combined well with the previously mentioned knack that Kacey has.
YES PURE YES, loving this so much on my reread, such an awesome moment.
