Remember when Amity ran off after Eda caught her cheating during the witches’ duel? At first, I thought she had run off crying, but when I looked at the picture of her curled up against the wall again, I realized she isn’t crying. She doesn’t even look sad. She just looks exhausted.
She looks like she could almost fall asleep. She’s just so tired of being taken advantage of. She always has be on her best behavior, and her best always has to be better than everyone else’s best. Her parents use her to get more attention and clout for the family name. And now Lilith, who she actually admired, just used Amity to make herself look like a better teacher, with no regard whatsoever to Amity’s wellbeing. Amity has been taken advantage of so many times that she isn’t even that sad about it anymore. She’s just so, so tired of it.
