"Weren't you listening?" Enya shakes her head.

"I said they were able to bring the evil people back to normal! And they weren't zombies, they were brought BACK TO LIFE! As if they never died!"

"But Director Alcott doesn't seem like he could have ever BEEN evil," she tried to explain, flinching ever so slightly at the accusation.

The whole "brought back to life" thing really bothered her. Everything she knew about science SCREAMED at her about the impossibility.

Just like the impossibility of her chains.

"Well that's mind control for you." Enya giggles again.

"I'm sure that's part of why he was brought back to life."

She just blinked for a moment as she thought about that. She wasn't quite sure she understood what the girl meant and really didn't think she could take another blow to her intelligence in one conversation.

"I wonder if all the faculty have gone through something so crazy." Enya fills the silence with her pondering.

"A lot of them don't look like they've been through much, but that's almost impossible, huh?"

"I think they've just learned to live with what they've been through," Eve offered, looking Enya over.

"That would make sense." she nods.

"But in that case, I really want to know what it was!"

Enya looks like someone who's just read the most exciting book of her life.

"I'm sure they wouldn't be afraid of answering, if you asked."

She wasn't entirely certain of that, actually. But she was a bit intimidated by this girl's... happiness.

"Hm, isn't that a tad rude? Just out of the blue?"

She seems to honestly seek her opinion rather than make a point.

"Maybe," Evie said with a shrug. She seemed to be thinking about that. "But I don't think Jack or Doctor Makaila would mind too much. They're both pretty open."

"Hm! In that case I might try it!" she grins!

"Otherwise I guess I'll have to happen upon a file!"

"The files are open to the public." Well, most of them were, anyways.

"I could probably ask Jack if there are any really interesting ones?"

"Oh, that would be very kind of you!" she accepts!

"Perhaps I'll do that on my own as well when I go pry!"

So.... was she supposed to do something? Or not?

She was still called kind, so she seemed to relax a little.

With the silence Enya glances over at the TV screen.

"You ever seen this? There's a lot about Ted Bundy!"

She looks back at her.

"You ever hear of him?"

Ted Bundy?

She furrowed her brows in thought as she tried to remember.

"I think... I've read the name? But no. I don't know who that is." She looked up at the TV, then motioned towards it with one hand. "Do you mind if I watch with you?" It would let her get to know this strange, strange girl better.

Enya was prepared to explain, but the following question made her beam.

"Of COURSE you can!" she nods before turning to the TV and unpausing the video.

The video looked pretty old considering the quality. The documentary would talk about various serial killers and the psychology behind it. However, as Enya pointed out, it took a special focus on Ted Bundy, whom had been the most recent example of psychopathic behaviour during the time of the film.

Ted had murdered many women, often returning to where he left the corpses to lay with the cadavers. He had a fondness for women who looked like his girlfriend: young and attractive white girls, with long hair parted in the middle.

The video would also discuss the ways he would trick the women, often using his good looks and asking them to help him with his car before hitting them with a blunt object.

Evie looked... repulsed by the video most of the time, but dutifully, she sat there and watched it with Enya. A few times, it managed to get a squeak out of the tiny girl, who just stared, wide-eyed, at the horror.

"Oh my gosh," she said, at one point. "He's so... He looks so calm! How does he manage?"

"There's a quote that they didn't get to yet," she starts, speaking to Evelyn of course, but keeping her gaze on the tv screen.

"'I'm the most cold-hearted son of a bitch you'll ever meet.' He says."

She lets that sink in before she shrugs.

"It's easy for a sociopath. They don't feel guilt or shame. They can easily manipulate people, often with charm. But it's all very self-serving. They love themselves and they're impulsive."

Her eye-lids would lower.

"They're weak."

There was something of contempt in her tone.

Enya turns to smile at Evie!

"Because clearly they can't even do something as simple as control themselves. They'll try to convince people how great they are, not held back by guilt as they do whatever they want. Play God. But they don't even realize they're not in control!"

She starts to laugh.

"The impulse is the master. They're a slave to acting upon it, killing people and playing games just to prove themselves to no one. Yet everyone. Unable to behave themselves just because a monster in their head tells them they're untouchable. It's pathetic, isn't it?"

"Sociopaths have impulse control, though, don't they? I thought it was psychopaths that... don't? I mean, admittedly, I don't really know much about sociopaths."

And Ted Bundy definitely seemed to have a god complex. That was something she couldn't deny.

"I suppose it's hard to tell them apart." Enya says, shrugging.

"They share a lot of similarities and different sources will tell you different things. I think the biggest separation between the two is that Sociopaths are capable of emotions and attachments, even though it's harder; while psychopaths only learn to mimic them. Some say Sociopathy is the result of nurture while psychopathy is the result of nature."

She tilts her head.

"So I think in this case you're probably right." she giggles. "I think psychopath probably suits him better."

Even though that's not quite what she said.

She isn't sure how to respond to that information. She just sort of stares at Enya for a moment, trying to piece everything together and follow her... rather strange thought process.

"I... guess that makes sense?" she said, still trying her best to befriend this weird redhead before her. "You must really like psychology, hmm?"

"I do!" she nods excitedly!

"I'm really into what makes people click! Though I admit I'm not always good at getting a read on it."
