# data[].attributes.body
Deviation - Physical abnormalities that people have that aren’t accepted as they are not the norm

Mutant - Any living thing that differs from the norm and Gods image that can be both in physical appearance and abilities

Blasphemy - resentment against god for example having extra body parts

Offense - A living thing that differs from its previous generation no matter how small the difference

The meme shows how affected Anne got by Alan’s death to the point where she killed herself. This also shows how far Anne would go for the sake of romantic love as she is risking the group of telepaths being found out if she marries Alan.

Annes informs the group that she will marry Alan

David then tells Uncle Axel about their wedding and how badly Anne wants to marry Alan to the point she puts the whole group of telepaths at risk of being discovered

David is also absolutely certain that no one would kill Anne just to not get found out despite knowing how Anne put them all at risk just because she wants to be with Alan.

The relationship between Anne and Alan also makes David question his relationship with Rosalind and the idea that David and Rosalind could be together seems impossible due to the fact that Rosalind is the daughter of Angus Morton

Rachel then tells the group that Alan has been found dead with an arrow in his neck, Anne then believes its caused by one of the telepaths in the group

Micheal then suggests to the group that everyone should be prepared to flee incase Anne reports them

Anne then commits suicide due to the fact that Alan is dead and leaves behind a suicide note which Annes neighbour found and gives it to Racheal even though it was supposed to go to the inspector which Racheal then burns it after reading it
