“Evander, he wasn’t fucking nice to you.” There’s sudden venom in his voice. “He tortured you. He locked you up and drugged you and punished you for not being … being ‘normal.’ I used to wake up at night and hear you crying and crying, like a haunting that never ended. You think he’s nice because he gave you presents and said you were ‘good’ after you did what he wanted. You think he’s nice because you don’t know anything but pain.”
