Quote #10
After she'd seen me hold Lissa back from the dove, she and Victor realized that they needed to injure me to get to her— it was their only chance to get her to heal again. Natalie had simply waited for a good opportunity. (23.22)
Ultimately, it's friendship that drives Lissa to heal others, despite the huge toll it takes on her; it's pretty sweet really, if you think about it. Rose is willing to give up her social and love life to be with Lissa, and Lissa uses her life-sucking powers to heal Rose. Theirs is a friendship that isn't easily broken.
