She noticed the succubus acting strange. She questioned her, and found she was feeling insecure. A recent conversation with Her mother had hurt her. A succubus was the last one who should feel insecure, and She intended to make sure she wouldn't.

It was an impulse, more than a conscious choice. She reached over and gently held the succubus' head with both hands. She meant to pump her full of pure reassurance, but the thought "I'll make this insecurity go away" shone stronger. A peach cream light emitted from Her hands, and the insecurity went away.

It was only now that She realized what She did. That unwanted thoughts could simply be burned. The succubus sat before Her, unharmed and free of insecurities once more.

She felt Her mind rearrange to fill the gaps. New mindstuff grew, blank and ready to be filled with new thought. She felt good. Better than before She had blasted Herself.

Sue asked the succubus if she felt hollowed as well. The succubus nodded. Once more, She held her head, this time focusing on that word and the stony blue energy.
