@e001s said: YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO MOMMY AND DADDY.
as usual, eveline’s sudden appearance catches zoe off-guard. the girl is quiet when she wants to be, zoe thinks. if girl is an appropriate descriptor for the science experiment holding zoe’s family hostage. the mommy and daddy eveline refers to are nothing but shells, their true personalities hollowed out so that eveline can fill them with whatever she wants, violence and hate, murder and idol-worship for eveline herself. THAT’S WHAT ZOE HAS TO BELIEVE: this, and not that these are her parents’ true selves that eveline has somehow unlocked, free of inhibitions. she wants to swing at eveline, wants to hit the kid like she’s never wanted anything before, but zoe knows that will end badly, and she doesn’t want to end up dismembered by her own father, or worse, another mindless eveline-worshipping zombie. gd help her, but she wants to LIVE. “why are you doing this to us?” she demands, and her voice cracks slightly. “we would have helped you -- would have taken care of you! why us? what did we ever do to you?”
