CHARACTERS:

our first-person, extremely unhinged narrator. she’s a very bitter woman and is someone with nothing to live for, the way she sees it. a lot of her apathy + the disarrayed state of her life and mind was a direct cause of her childhood trauma and the unhealthy coping mechanisms that followed said trauma. she’s perpetually angry at her younger self and is overly conflicted towards her feelings towards her family, mainly her sister.

emily’s older sister. she was a role model for her when they were kids, and emily used to worship her. she was a loving and emotional person, and was very reckless— and rebellious— with a streak of massive unchecked anger [directed mostly at her father]. emily doesn’t recall much about her anymore, due to how young she’d been when lilee had died.
