So, what do you think happened to Nicole after the end of the Emily Route?
Like, I don't think Nicole would get into much legal trouble over this, given her willingness to lie, and just Emily's overall history as a troublemaker.
Her mother was fucking terrified of Emily, as you should be when dealing with someone that psychotic and uncaring of any harm towards themself.
I think Nicole would have to spend a few days in the hospital, but what about afterwards?
Jecka was, if anything, understating how messed up Emily was. Let's say that Nicole was placed back into regular classes after Ms. Ames took a leave of absence after seeing a student kill themselves. How would their conversation go, after Jecka was hearing some utterly insane rumors about Emily and Nicole's fucking suicide pact?
Nicole finally had someone that was willing to straight up die alongside her, and she sort of blinked. It would have been an emotionally easy way to die, and Nicole still chose to live. It was even a case of premeditated survival, as she had to cut Emily's concoction with Flintstones Vitamins.
Do you think Nicole could grow after the experience, or even find a bit of peace?
