Oh, my gosh. Tell me there's some way to a) return Cassandra's ability to her and b) drop a double armload of righteous fury on both that clipper and Cassandra's parents?
Granny Whammy's actions were misguided but human. The clipper person and that girl's parents... the duration of their actions and reactions, to say nothing of the content, crossed the line into monstrous territory. Whether or not they meant well, what they did was abusive, not loving. Granny Whammy goofed, badly. Those people... I haven't got the vocabulary for it, but they crossed a *line*.
You likely know all of this already.
