I drew them :p

Both Nick & Judy at different points knocked down someone standing in their way, before running desperately up a flight of stairs to try to save each other.

Bellwether was exactly like Judy. She was a small prey in a predator-dominated field. She was kind and helpful to others. She was pushed around and bullied by her peers/superior. She had no real support from anyone around her. She was underestimated by everybody around her, always looking up at them. Though she tried to stay positive, in the end it made no difference because nobody would ever see her as more than a “glorified secretary” that a predator in power used to get more votes.

The difference between Judy and Bellwether?

Judy had Nick.

Judy had somebody to open up her eyes to how bad predators actually have it in life. Someone to help her see that despite their differences, they were both treated poorly for what they are. Someone who chose to believe in her because he saw her potential when everyone else turned their backs on her. Someone who she could actually trust. Someone who supported her even when she messed up, and would continue to help her not out of personal gain but because they care about each other.

Maybe if Bellwether had that someone she could’ve turned out different. But the Bellwether we see, even from the very beginning of the story, has already been corrupted by her experiences and her decisions.
