Eva was even more distant with me after her birthday passed, and I was honestly surprised that we could be any further apart. I was away most of the day to clean things anyway, but when I came back to her quarters, tired and bored out of my mind, she pretended I didn’t exist. And I suppose that was something she did normally, but this time it felt different, like she was ignoring me and she wanted me to know it.

God, she was annoying.
