Evelyn

For example:

-(May sat nearby on a bench and looked off to the side. In front of her stood a box of rolls, which she had barely touched.)

Evelyn:

• Are you kidding me?

May:

• What?

Evelyn:

• You ate two pieces.

May:

• I'm not very hungry.

-(Evelyn sighed heavily.)

Evelyn:

• You haven't been very hungry for about eight hours.

May:

• Evie...

Evelyn:

• No.

-(She picked up the roll with her chopsticks and shoved it almost under May's nose.)

Evelyn:
— Open your mouth.

May:

• I am five years old?

Evelyn:

• Judging by the way you eat, yes.

-(May laughed quietly.)

May:

• You're literally feeding me from your hands right now.

Evelyn:

• And whose fault is it?

May:

• Not mine.

Evelyn:

• Yours.

-(May ate the roll after all.)

-(Evelyn immediately picked up the next one.)

May:

• Evelyn.

Evelyn:

• What?

May:
— People are watching.

Evelyn:

• Let them watch.

May:
— Aren't you ashamed?

Evelyn:
— I'm only ashamed that a grown girl can't feed herself.

-(May rolled her eyes, but obediently opened her mouth for the next roll.)

-(Evelyn pretended that this didn’t touch her at all.)

May:
— Do you want some cookies?

Evelyn:

• No.

Five minutes later Evelyn returns.

Takes cookies.

He leaves.

Doesn't say thank you.

Evelyn:

• Why are you always so calm?!

May:
— Because someone has to.

Evelyn:

• I'm serious.

May:

• And I'm serious.

Character

Evelyn is a complex person.

She is sharp.

Stubborn.

Doesn't accept help well.

He doesn't like to talk about his feelings and can't stand pity.

If she feels bad, she would rather lock herself in a room than ask for support.

Growing up, she had almost no normal family, so she learned early on to rely only on herself.

Because of this, many people consider her cold.

But as soon as the child starts crying, she will be the first to be there.

She remembers her little patients' favorite toys, knows their fears, favorite cartoons, and knows how to talk to them in a way that makes them feel safe.

The meaning of the character

Evelyn is a person who gives to others what she once lacked.

She doesn't try to be perfect.

She just wants at least someone to have a better childhood than her own.

Peculiarities

• He loves children very much.
  — Afraid of getting attached to adults
• Doesn't know how to accept compliments
  — She keeps the drawings that children give her.
  — He may not remember his lunch, but he remembers the birthday of every child in his patient group.
• When he's worried, he starts working too much.
