Cold Case - Molly's Truth

It probably felt like if someone came up to you one day and adamantly declares that the sky is Orange. Just kinda double-take and "What?" because that statement just wrong.

One interesting point is the question of whether Molly is herself now Sidhe. If so, the statement that she 'can't' just leave someone there is problematic, because of course they can, in the sense of physical ability. But at least at first glance, if Molly is now a Sidhe, she shouldn't have been able to utter that statement because it is factually false, and she knows it to be so.
forumghost:
I disagree that it'd be a problem.
"I can't just leave him here alone." doesn't need to refer to a literal physical inability to move to be a true statement.
Following such a narrow understanding of their words is exactly what those tricksy faeries want.
Arjan:
Remember Mab calling Bonnie a parasite? The literal interpretation is not necessary. Even worse I think the Sidhe can say anything as long as there is at least one interpretation of their words that is true.
Avernite:
I'm more wondering if such statements in some sense can affect Winter Law, when uttered by one of the Queens.
That is, maybe from now on all Winter Fae are unable to abandon their vassals/allies harmed by their own mistakes.
Mr. Death:
It could also work the other way around.
It's not so much a statement of her capabilities as it is a statement of her will. Her being unable to leave him there becomes fact because, as queen, she is declaring it so.
