The more I think about it, actually, the more I think Charles couldn't be a killer. Like, they'd fail trying to convert him into an assassin and he'd die first. Unless...
oh god...
So I'm thinking of A Wrinkle in Time, when Charles Wallace got almost entirely swallowed up by It, because he went to It with his mind opened and It assimilated him. If he opened up too far, in the Academy, what would he start taking in?
It starts without warning, and then no one can get anywhere near that corner of the library for almost twenty minutes. She's hurling one book after another off the shelves, sobbing and raging incoherently, slamming her hands against the heavy bookcases, against the walls, against the floor
