As unfortunate as it is, it's for the best that Sarah can't Speak anymore. It would be catastrophic if she said, "Beatrix no longer can Speak." Without that consent barrier in place, Speaking is much too dangerous.
Yeah, I go back and forth on whether I want her to regain that ability. If she does, she and Bea will work out how to make it safer, such as artificially adding that consent barrier to Sarah's borrowed ability. However, depending on when that occurs, it may not even be necessary. Eventually they will figure out the actual core rule(s) for the system, and realize that their understanding of the consent barrier is incorrect. The actual rule/protection *is* in effect, but Beatrix's experimentation thus far has had no way of determining that for reasons I hope will become obvious.
