Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Vitale, Part 21

What did she get so upset about?

Suggesting I was her friend?

It's the obvious answer, but it doesn't feel right. Juliana seemed more amused when I suggested it. At worst, thoughtful.

So what upset her?

I replay the conversation in my head.

I'm not claiming to have changed. Who ever really changes? Have you changed, Juliana?"

My comment that no one changes. It's all a facade...

That's what triggered it.

But mainly, I was talking about myself... Not her.

But is that what she heard?

*****

No one changes?

That's what enraged her?

Or the suggestion that she hasn't changed.

So...

... Follow the logic...

What was Juliana that she believes... or wants... to have changed from?

She's a psycho...

...

Does she know that?

...

Yes. And she doesn't care. She almost revels in it. How many she's murdered...

?

Is that aspirational?

She wants to to be a murderess?

Or... she wants to be wicked?

There's a kind of glamour to wickedness
