How healing could it be to look to Anita as your dream woman, your savior, the person who will protect you and love you forever, and then realize that the only time she wants you is when she's forced to have sex, and even then you're not her first choice? That the person who is supposed to lead is being led around by their own sickness?
If Nathanial is healing, he's healing despite Anita. There is no way anything she says or does will heal Pete. He, like Nate, will be forced to heal on his own or become a monster. Her life is a mess, her relationships are generally broken, and she is blind to the most basic of cues that her people use, blind to everything but herself and her own needs.
Even if sex were the cure, Anita-sex ain't. Can you imagine her doing even so much as giving him sex advice?
