But was it truly that bad? After all, he got to see Arabella. A part of Strange is just so angry, so horrified that the Prince used her image and her memory to trick him and dissuade him like that. How dare he use someone so sacred in Strange's mind, how dare he treat her like a fake! But another part of Strange, the part that's only seen glimpses of his wife in over a year, the part that misses Arabella so terribly he's fit to burst...that part didn't mind the illusions as much. She wasn't real, but for a few wonderful hours, she was.

Still, Strange is smart enough to keep his mixed opinions on the illusions to himself. 9S obviously hates them and Strange knows that butting in with his opinion would only make it worse.

"I was affected," Strange affirms, as they continue to walk back towards the carnival. "Apparently there was something in the food, something that poisoned us all at breakfast." Now that he takes proper offense with. "I spent all of the dance in a haze, dancing with what I thought was my wife."

Which makes this the second fake wife Strange has had to deal with, like goddamn universe, can you slow your roll on these things a little bit?
