Falcon doesn't say anything while Phoenix talks, and not for a while after. He merely... stares ahead, at the floating petals, at the blossoms in the tree.

He doesn't know how to feel about it at all. But, there is one thing he does know:

"Rooting around inside someone's mind, changing them inside out without their knowledge or consent..." he murmurs, "I can't stand the thought."

He closes his eyes, frowning.

"Thanks for telling me," he says. He gets why Phoenix thinks about it like that, but- "but I can't."
