Scarlet ate, slept and waited much like a princess in captivity. On the outside, it looked as if she was being obedient and repentant. On the inside, Scarlet was already starting the first step of her plan. She told Jasper and Alex to create a chatroom account so that they could communicate while she was still under house arrest.
Mr and Mrs Liu were suspicious when Scarlet was acting very plaint. She didn't act out of control or tried to run away. The Scarlet they knew would have broken down by now.
"Do you think she's been broken?" Mrs Liu asked her husband one night after checking in on their now sleeping daughter. Other than the unusually high amount of computer usage to read, watch videos and play games there was nothing out of the ordinary.
