eve becomes SNAKE -- or snake becomes EVE. whichever way ROUND, she is FREER. hell follows her ‘round, hell called MAN, hell called ADAM, trying to make the CHANGING about him. adam demands of god why he is being PUNISHED like this. eve finds GRACE in the dark cracks between rocks. eve finds god in the SOLITUDE. eve finds ABSOLUTION in the red press of her knees / scales into the dirt. eve, UNBLINKING, watches adam rail. adam demands ANSWERS and eve / snake / eve exits the GARDEN to go and find them for HERSELF.

DIGGING HANDS IN her wounds right away, are we ? now, she’s been pointedly keeping jacob out of her thoughts - hurts to much to remember the moment. her father’s soft voice, the stake in her hand breaking skin, breaking ribs, breaking hearts - his & hers both. green gaze drops to the floor, lips pursed slightly in a way that makes it real clear she’s trying to keep her expression composed. ‘ i regret a lotta things. ’ but she doesn’t exactly know that she’d change things if she could. jacob was falling apart, anyway, going off the rails & dragging kate and scott with him. it’s probably better that his death happened when it did, when he redeemed himself in the eyes of his daughter - despite the fear that’d settled in her bones in the days leading up to his death, she remembers him with nothing but love & forgiveness. ‘ but there’s no use lookin back at the past like that. i gotta look out for myself, now. ’
