I don’t fear strangers, though. I’ve learned more harm can come from familiar faces.
These thoughts belong to our main character Jessica Farris, who works as a freelance makeup artist and therefore enters strangers’ apartments every day. We wanted to explore the idea that although we’re told from the time we’re children to be wary of strangers, often it’s the people closest to us that cause the most harm: Family members, friends, or work colleagues. Unfortunately, Jessica knows this all too well. This passage hints at the dark secrets Jessica carries. Because she feels she can’t unburden herself to anyone, she’s a particularly vulnerable subject for the mysterious Dr. Shields.
