[This is getting close to the original topic they'd discussed about Carlisle's abilities going out of control during the event, and so Chris assumes this is probably at least some of why Carlisle had said he wanted to talk. He's quiet a moment, trying to decide on the best response.]

Your powers were um, actually hurting you because they were all messed up with the event, right? Is that what they always do if you lose control of them for some reason?
