You're sick! You're evil!

You could have ended it, Evie. You could have given in, but you didn't. Why? Leave me alone! I hate you! That's it! See, at first, I thought it was hate, too. Hate was all I knew. It built my world, imprisoned me, taught me how to eat, how to drink, how to breathe. I thought I'd die with all the hate in my veins. But then something happened. It happened to me, just as it happened to you.

Shut up! I don't want to hear your lies!

Your own father said that artists use lies to tell the truth. Yes, I created a lie, but because you believed it, you found something true about yourself.

No!

What was true in that cell is just as true now. What you felt in there has nothing to do with me.

I can't feel anything anymore!

Don't run from it, Evie. You've been running all your life.

Oh, my God. What have I done?

Listen to me, Evie. This may be the most important moment of your life. Commit to it. They took your parents from you. They took your brother from you. They put you in a cell and took everything they could take, except your life. And you believed that was all there was, didn't you? The only thing you had left was your life, but it wasn't, was it?

Please.

You found something else. In that cell, you found something that mattered more to you than life. Because when they threatened to kill you unless you gave them what they wanted, you told them you'd rather die. You faced your death, Evie. You were calm. You were still. Try to feel now what you felt then.
