I actually had it right in the first draft. I can't have Wendy not understand the information now in her head because the memories are attached, and those memories trigger answers. She understands the answers because she can remember how she got them through Corryn's memories.
But this brings us to another problem. I can't have this exist in the world as it is today. I can't have the audience believe that this is taking place now. For there to be some kind of hope that all of this is possible, I need to put the entire story far enough into the future (let's just say "somewhere in the near future" as Gattaga puts it) so the audience can't question what's happening because if it's in the future, who knows? Maybe it is possible if other things are made possible in that future.
Wendy doesn't have to struggle with not understanding because there is so much going on that she needs to deal with. She's not a normal child, she finds out that her mother did an experiment on her when she was a baby, her sister resents her, and a lot of other stuff i added in the new draft.
