#eightfold

eight of them. one of you.

it was never meant to turn into something real. just work. just proximity. just… temporary.

but lines blur fast when you’re the only thing they all start watching.

wanting. needing.

and the worst part? you don’t want it to stop.

There it is. Isabel doesn't have the same prejudice towards spirits as her grandfather, but she doesn't value them the same as humans.

I'll admit the subtlety of this conversation flew over my head the first time I read it; I thought Eightfold was just upset that Isabel though of her as an object in the moment, but no, you can tell how hurt she is that Isabel can only recount the time they first met as the time she received a tool to conquer her fears.

Eightfold is hurt, but not overtly resentful, which honestly is great because it shows she knows Isabel has the capacity to care but is still a middle-schooler whose prejudices come from trying to live up to the expectations of her grandfather (and maybe a little from trying to distance herself from her father).

I love flip flop so much
