Being a contractor is not an easy life. There is pain, loss and suffering. That being said, despite everything Vivian dedicated herself to giving hope to others despite not really believing it was impossible to improve the world. Her power works by allowing her to, in the simplest explanation, enforce her will on the world around her, through channelling her very essence of being. As such when this most recent contract occurred something shifted. For a moment, she considered not following her ideals. To give in and unleash on the world what it unleashes on her. A traumatic truth to the effects of her 'gifts' and what they are truly capable of. If she gave up the control and ideals she spouts despite not believing them. Perhaps even a punishment to herself, for whilst she wasn't truly traumatised she feels like she should have been. To be the Font of Hope is a powerful responsibility, one that can cause pain if misused.
