EVA. He’s coming.
EVELYN. Stop.
EVA. His eyes are sharp as knives.
EVELYN. Be quiet.
EVA. He’ll cut off my nose.
EVELYN. He’s not coming.
EVA. He’ll burn my fingers till they melt.
EVELYN. You’ve not done anything wrong.
EVA. He’ll pull out my hair one piece at a time.
EVELYN. You’re a good girl.
EVA. Don’t let him come. Please!
EVELYN. He won’t come.
EVA. He will.
EVELYN. I promise. I won’t let him. I’ll do everything I can to stop him. You’ll see. You’re with me now. He can’t touch me. Do you understand? I’m here. You’re being looked after. I won’t go away. I’ll make it all disappear. I’ll get rid of him. He won’t take you anywhere ever again.
