Roland shakes his head before he knows he's doing it, opens his mouth and pauses. Should he? There was a time when Roland himself would have killed Detta, and that for good. If he'd needed to. He will not avoid admitting that to himself.
The body housing the woman he loves so dearly would wake in this tower after, healthy and alive. Ready for another round in the story the Gamemakers are using her to tell. Roland knows that. A part of him knows that.
"Avoid her." Roland shakes his head again. "If you can. It usually doesn't last. Detta can only take control for long if she has help." Before, that help had come from inside Susannah's head. It's not really a surprise that such 'help' doesn't need to be inside her body to be effective. Or at least, it shouldn't be one. Roland turns a little, frowning again at the wall near the screen. It certainly hadn't been a surprise to that other. She hadn't found it a difficult thing to figure out at all.
