She watched him gurgle his last breaths and sink like a stone.
sophie straight up murdering someone because they cut her hair. not only that, she waited for her victim to be vulnerable before she attacked. i cannot stand this character what so ever.
“Don’t worry,” Dot sniffled. “One day, someone Evil enough will kill that monster.” Sophie stiffened.
this is truly *chefs kiss*
