    I was hoping for something like:

    “You were”, she answered without hesitation.

    Also, why would she be afraid of them? Without the system of power that upheld them, they are about as dangerous as the average human. Possibly less.

    If anything, they’re the ones who should be afraid. Especially the ones on the Epstein list.

      That’s way too on-the-nose.

      And she could just be screaming to get people’s attention to an outbreak of vermin. People scream when they see a mouse in their house, and mice haven’t even ruined the world in centuries.
