In Part Two, there is a disappointing lack of alien content. Ruby has an incredibly expository conversation with her emotionally distant mother. The next day, Ruby and Fiora take part in the most gladiatorial game of dodgeball I have ever read and end up battered and bloody in the nurse’s office because…bonding, I guess? I discuss sideways emotions, Tennessee William’s The Glass Menagerie, the tenuous art of foreshadowing, and my love for Jordan Peele.
