task two: julieta flores
Do you think you’ll have children one day?
Julieta nearly laughed at the question, shaking her head immediately. “No, definitely not.” Though she was quick to respond, she had never really thought too much on it. The idea of having to care for someone besides herself scared enough. The idea that she would have to go through what her mother did, terrified of her child’s powers just as she was terrified of her own, and inevitably dooming them both... No. Julieta was content the way she was, barely surviving on her own. She was comfortable. No one else needed to be brought into that. She wouldn’t be a good mother, anyway.
Have you ever been in love?
Julieta thought she may have been once. There had been a girl who was kind to her when she was thirteen, bringing her food and new clothes when she realized Julieta had no one to provide these for her. That simple kindness was nearly enough for Julieta to profess an undying love, but in the end it had only been that... She had just been so eager to be touched and cared for that she had mistaken the feeling. She had only been a child. It was understandable, but embarrassing. She hasn’t made the same mistake since.
Who is the person you look up to the most?
Julieta looks up to no one but herself. Her mother was certainly no role model for her, and she refuses to show any admiration for the professors here who have cared for her. They would like that far too much and might consider it some redemption on her part. Maybe she will find someone at some point that she admires for their own struggle, but right now she finds most people too annoying to pay close attention to.
