fallon abernathy isn't innocent, isn't untouched by what happened, and sure as hell isn't the frightened little girl she used to be. she's the daughter who finally stopped protecting the monster, and she'll be damned if she ever lets anybody make her feel that powerless again.
she still carries the weight of that shotgun, even if she'll never admit it out loud. she doesn't regret putting an end to what earl was doing, but some nights she wonders how a girl who once wanted nothing more than her daddy's love became the one who killed him.
