Was thinking about the Lukas family while washing dishes and how it makes way more sense for Evan Lukas to have been killed by that one asshole End avatar than to have died from rejecting the Lonely.
- We know for a fact that Lukases have left the family with no consequences. Peter said that he has two sisters who left on their own and are living full and happy lives away from the family, and that he had two brothers that were sent away when they were children because they didn’t take to the Lonely. Staying with the family, and with the Lonely, is clearly a choice that the Lukases make (or as much of one as it can be in their circumstances).
- Even if he had died from rejecting the Lonely, his cause of death makes no sense. The Lonely, when it’s used to kill, is a slow and tedious death, focused on making the victim feel completely isolated before they finally die. If it was going to kill him through an illness, it would be something slow and drawn out, like a terminal illness meant to make him feel completely alone in his pain. It wouldn’t be through a sudden heart complication.
- If the family forced him to come back, it would not be by faking hia death like I’ve seen in the fandom sometimes. It would be something like forcing him to leave Naomi to her face, to make her feel like he was leaving her willingly, like there was no one in the world who could love her enough to stay.
- Evan was well-liked and popular and loved with a long and happy life ahead of him. He also died in an extremely sudden way, from undiagnosed heart complications. That one fucking avatar, whose name I don’t remember because I hate her, extended her own lifespan by targeting deeply loved people, who all died from sudden and undiagnosed illnesses.
