Nvm, after reread it again she is...
To me it just feels like she's really stretching the limits of her ability, hence the nosebleed, OR the lightning bolts and zaps could be visualizing that she unlocked a new development in her ability (like a level up), OR your theory might be right and she's having her telepath battle with Desmond.
Either way, it's thrilling.
What's with the cliffhanger... continue plzz
Oohhh got it...that was dumb of me
Last panel, is Anya getting a nosebleed after trying to read Desmond mind's or am I just paranoid?
