The Importance of Trust

When you begin this story, I am expecting John to be in a position where he has a little bit more power over his own fate. He's kind of downtrodden by the folks around him. And anytime they go out in public, who's this kid? They don't let him ever drive the car, which chafes him a lot. The relationship he had with his mom only amped way up because it's also his boss and it's the government. Well, it plays into horror tropes. Horror is you are isolated even when you are surrounded by people.
