Chapter Twenty-One

Worst job interview ever.  I think Vincent pretty much sums that up.  (And I love his sarcastic and irreverent frame of mind.  It makes working with him so much fun.)

To be clear, Dalhard is lying.  While Rogers is not an exemplary human being, he is not a serial killer or cutting up kittens for entrees.  But it does demonstrate how quickly reputations can shift and change, moving someone outside the definition of “innocent”.  We often trust what other people tell us, even though we have no direct experience to base it on.  (I believe that is the bread and butter of the entire tabloid industry.) 

Michael begins to understand that Dani is not just a tease or callous.  There is something dangerous inside her and she is protecting everyone else by keeping them at a distance.  She uses nicknames instead of actual names to avoid getting too close to other people.  She derails conversations to keep others off balance.  Everything she does is designed to create a bubble of protection.
