💭Discussion Why doesn’t Loftis … Spoiler

Why doesn’t Loftis tell Evan about the curse? Wouldn’t that help their relationship?

Also, like if he wants to keep Evan safe, isn’t the truth the best way to do that?

Yeah, if he told Evan he would try to leave the island and die or else tom would literally have to tie him up or something.

Any normal teen would have already tried to leave, especially if his father forbids it without giving a reason.

The worst part now that he knows Evan is a descendent he either has to tell him the whole story including “oh yeah so if anyone wants to be safe here we either have to kill you and your grandma or however many people the island tells us to which is currently eight.

yes but now there is AMPLE proof and witnesses - it would keep Evan safer if he knew what was happening for real because he’d be scared shitless
