Okay, first of all, like you said? Accident. And second...there was no way you could've known something like that was going to happen.

In fact...I'm pretty sure I've never heard of somebody getting sick from too much happy before. [Although, from the brief conversation she'd had with the strange Vulcan man, she supposed if it were to happen to anybody, it would be him.]

[She completely ignored the Happy? question for obvious reasons, instead counting back with a question of her own:]

Let me ask you something: remember when I screwed up and accidentally let a wild spell loose on the entire Turtle?

[Normally, she would never gave gone this route...but even as she was speaking, it surprised her just how close the parallel suddenly was. Except, if anything, her "crime"--if you asked Hayley--was far worse than his.]

What if I told you that somebody did get hurt while I was trying to fix it? Would you tell me I should never use my magic again because it was all my fault?
