Date: 2024-06-23 05:23 pm (UTC)Very interesting thought re biochemical response. Like some people are genetically pre-disposed in some way to be soooooo changed and out of control that they shouldn't be brought over? (Nick can really pick 'em lol.)
That does better explain Nick's hesitancy with Nat that he didn't have with Tracy. Like, aside from not generally wanting Nat to be a vampire, being a vampire will spiral her out of control, leading to her death just like with Richard. It would doom her. It does seem to fundamentally change some people, like the personality that made them "them" them dies. Happened with Richard. And also that plague doctor.
Maybe LaCroix has a better sense for these things than Nick. (Though, interestingly, LaCroix would have been fine with Nat coming across in the end, so maybe any risk Nick perceived of Nat turning out like Richard wasn't there... but by that point, Nick was already deep in his death wish, sigh).
Also, Nat not thinking about what vampirism did to her brother in LK vexes me.
