Double started to sneer when the Eevee began her confession. Bow was giving herself a character study, providing weaknesses for them to exploit. Weaknesses to exploit were Double's weapon of choice! They'd listen with a grin. Using her trauma, they would fill her with paranoia, and then they would bask in the chaos of town voting off an innocent yet again!
But by the end of the story, the grin had evaporated into a half-open frown. The story stung them in the heart and left it throbbing. A classic story of trust and betrayal that always hurt if you weren't the one doing the betraying. After all, parents are a real soft spot for you when you didn't know yours.
"Darling, darling...sssssshhhh..." They sat down next to her. "I think you want a friend so you can remind yourself that not everyone you meet is out to betray you. To experience the feeling of comeradery that was so cruelly torn away from you. The solution to losing someone is never to allow the emptiness fester in isolation." The voice wasn't dripping with anything malicious.
("Should I even try to manipulate her upon hearing this?")

If you hear about someone putting characters through intense despair and misery, then that someone is probably me.
