#maybe if their situation were different evil leafy would look at her more fondly.

wait why does el attack book so much??? did book do something to her personally or is it just to get at pencil

i kinda went over this in my original post but let me elaborate

the reason el goes after book the most in her encounters with freesmart isn’t out of any personal grudge (her quarrel is with pencil and the generalization in her head of freesmart) but because she’s just such an easy target. the weakest or most easy to isolate are always her first targets and. well.

not only does book put herself in danger to protect people, but freesmart, like i said, has a tendency to leave her behind. evil leafy quickly picked up on that

her attacks on them get more frequent in the later half of bfdia because her team is very quickly disintegrating.

her best friend who she found out essentially based their relationship on a lie is gone before she’s able to fix things. tb feels somewhat lost without gb and is struggling to maintain their control on el since golfball did most of the direct interaction. fries ditched a while ago and she barely got to know the others

it feels like she’s going back to how she was without them to anchor her. a terrifying and remorseless monster to be avoided at all costs. maybe she was better off in the forest. she’s never done well with people

with book it was never personal. she harbors no hatred, but also no guilt
