v. Mrs. Tolliver
Evan's death had devastated his mother.
He was dead.
Her baby was dead.
She would never see Evan again.
She would never take cups of coffee to his room, when he sat there till midnight, working hard on his computers, and all that other mumbo-jumbo she didn't understand.
She would never taste another one of his strawberry shortcakes ever again.
But mostly;
She could never love Evan again.
Ever.
vi. Evan's sister
Evan's death had confused his sister.
Who were all those people dressed in black?
Why were her parents dressed in black?
Why were they standing amid a field where some weird guy kept reciting stuff she didn't understand?
What was that box people were looking at and crying?
Why wasn't anybody letting her see what was inside the box?
She had so many questions, but why wasn't anybody answering them?
It was all a blur to the girl. So many questions she had, but the biggest one of them kept pricking her constantly, yet, she just felt like it wasn't an appropriate thing to ask;
Where was her big brother Evan?
If you didn't understand his mom's part, the 'she could never love him again' thing meant that she could never show affection toward him, like you know, buy new clothes, or other simple things moms do for their kids. Not the straight meaning of love, because, of course, she would continue to love her son, even if he isn't with her at the moment.
As for the sister part, I basically showed her as a very young person, who is not able to understand what is happening, and her parents don't want her to find out before the right time; which is I guess after the funeral...?
