There's a seahorse in her mind. Before you mock her, imagine if it was you. Imagine if you had a seahorse in your mind, who held all your emotions, memories and learning abilities in his tail. He could torment you with memories you didn't want to remember or flood you with emotions you didn't want to feel. He could stop you from learning lessons that would help you avoid future mistakes, or he could keep you stuck in mistakes. Imagine if you had a seahorse like that in your head who utterly controlled you. Tell me, would you not be terrified? Tell me, would you not be terrified just as much as she is when she realizes she was never in control?
