[theories] Where does dissonance come from?

[Archangel Beth]

I would probably allow an Ofanite to go flop, while mentally going, "Think, think, think, needaplanneedaplan!" On the other hand, it would probably be a pretty short flop -- I call my kid an "Impufanite," after all, because

1) She sucks energy from other people.
2) She is constantly moving unless she's out of energy.
3) Whereupon she tries to suck energy from me again.

For an Ofanite, trying to get loose isn't likely to be a *difficult* choice unless maybe it's getting electric shocks every time it twitches. If it's nearly impossible for one probably-human kid to hold still... How much more-so for an Ofanite?
