As a White Martian, M’gann is used to being telepathically connected to others, even when she isn’t actively reading their thoughts. She explains that, even when she wasn’t reading minds, she could still sense the hum of others’ thoughts, allowing her to feel connected. Now,without that ability, she feels incredibly lonely and disconnected, which is taking an especially hard toll on her mental and emotional state.
