She came to see me, he tells Eve.

She told me what you did.

Do you like all of this?

Does it excite you?

What do you want from me, Eve?

Do you want me to love you or do you want me to frighten you?

Eve eagerly complies, and the next morning she greets him with coffee, giddy about their power play.

Niko is considerably less thrilled.

And now that he has admitted it, what else is there to say?

Shes a recovering addict, so Villanelle infiltrates her AA meeting as Eve listens through an earpiece.

And so Villanelle tries another tactic: the truth.

Most days, I feel nothing.

I dont feel anything.

It is so boring …

I attempt to find ways of making myself feel something more, and more, and more.

But it doesnt make any difference.

No matter what I do, I dont feel anything.

I hurt myself; it doesnt hurt.

I get what I want; I dont want it.

I do what I like; I dont like it.

Im just so bored.

I like you but I dont like you that much, she said.

Dont forget: The only thing that makes you interesting isme.

Would she like that?

Would that excite her?

Would Eve survive it?

Either way, it wouldnt be boring at all.
