Premise: Cloche and Epel are neighbours in the same apartment complex! Epel mistook Cloche for a new tenant and stepped in when he saw her struggling to pull up a heavy suitcase up the stairs. What he didn’t know was that Cloche had always been there. So all this time the really gloomy girl he’d occasionally see scurrying in the halls, at midnight, was her?! Since then, they’d greet each other and make small talk whenever they bump into each other.
🍎 Cloche continuously leads Epel on as an unknowing accomplice because of how unassuming he looks.
🍎 Cloche comes into the flower shop to get flowers for the graves/funerals of her victims. Epel works under Vil at the shop.
🍎 They exchange stock! Epel sends Cloche crates of apple cider and Cloche buys Epel a lot of meat from the supermarket (repackages them and says it’s from her family).
🍎 Cloche specifically targets con creeps/incels/shut-ins, going by the logic they’re less likely to have people who’ll notice them go missing. It’s less moral cleansing, but more like a mean girl picking on those she deems beneath her. (⚠️ THERE IS AN OVERLAP OF MENTAL HEALTH AND THE ABOVE MENTIONED DEMOGRAPHIC. KILLER! CLOCHE IS NOT TO BE GLORIFIED.)
🍎 Cloche putting her hair in the claw clip is a ritual that grounds her. Cloche usually kills with her hair down.
