"She doesn't mean for it to happen," Cole cryptically remarks. "It just does." After all, the Ringmaster had no idea the Void would show up and take people like it did. It isn't her fault that dangerous things keep happening. They just do.

As always, Cole picks up on Lavellan's thoughts and doubts and worries. She's worried because it's her. Because she changed. "You became a Guardian in the end," he explains. "The potential for good was always there. That might be why it happened to begin with."

After all, none of the other Harbingers turned back to normal people after they were changed. They all became Guardians. So they had to have been able to be that strong in the first place.
