She did go outside when asked to, she made an awkward attempt to comply with Kareen's request to "talk some sense into" Katie, and now she's practically asking for instructions.

Yes I *am* obsessed. This is why, second panel. Still think 'of course she wouldn't kill Katie'?

Just big talk. She loves feng, but he's pissing her off so she's leaving. She doesn't want to hurt him. People ALWAYS say stuff that they don't mean.

Brainwashed or not, it can't be hard to regulate the strength and speed of her arm movements. She does it quite normally the rest of the day.

Of course, accidents do happen though...

Um… yes?

Right, she's leaving. She won't hit him, because she either believes that she can't hit him without killing him (and she doesn't want to do that) or that's what she wants him to think. I still see this as significant personal growth.

Feng was very good at fighting. Hitting him would have been difficult because he would have dodged or parried the blow. Oasis was quite capable of using moderate force when she first met Torg.
