A worrying thought haunted Andromeda's mind following the events of In the Sights of the Crackshot. As one of her friends hung from a ledge above her, Andromeda finds herself terrified of the possibility of being unable to help. While she saved her friend then, it was only due to a gift that someone else gave her. She fears what would've happened if she didn't have that artifact. She wishes that she could reach out and catch her friend, pulling them down to safety. It was that wish that manifested this gift, so hopefully she'll be able to prevent future situations like this from happening.
