#I was just gonna have Peepers rant to Sylvia but Sylvia isn't just gonna listen without going

[ariel-s-awesome]

The ways Peepers and Sylvia's friendship would help with Peepers' character development are obvious. It'll lessen his and Hater's codependence. It'll teach him how a healthy relationship not only looks like, but feels like.

Yet it changes Sylvia too.

As Sylvia begins to connect with Peepers, and starts to sympathize with him, it'll challenge her belief that bad people deserve to have bad things happen to him.

Wander believes that "bad" people don't exist. Everyone has a seed of goodness inside of them that needs to be nurtured so it can grow. She's softening up to his way of thinking, but it still feels rather naive to her.

Instead, Sylvia learns a lesson that fits far more comfortably into her worldview:

Some people are pretty awful. That can't be denied. But maybe that doesn't mean they deserve to suffer. Maybe even the most evil people are worthy of kindness and support.
