The Drama - In alternative circumstances how different would the reaction be?
In the alternative scenario where Emma makes it to the point of being about to carry out the shooting, gun in hand, finger on trigger and first target in sight, she breaks down into tears and realises that she can’t go through with it.
Would that display of empathy and human emotions mean more to the other characters despite her getting significantly closer to the action (imo)
Like would it discount their psychopath accusations and make her a more forgivable person as a teenage girl who got swept up but realised her heart doesn’t beat like that.
I think Rachael would have reacted the same but I think Charlie and Mike would have been able to offer her more grace in that scenario. Interested to hear what others think! Also interested to hear how that would change how you specifically feel about what she did.
