V14 – Pg16
Bedside Care
As BaufenBeast mentioned in the comments of the previous page, Rupert isn’t too much of a bad egg. He’s trying his best to keep things on a level pegging and realizes (at some level) that the family would be in trouble without him.
Sadly, Violet has taken Rupert’s words from the previous issue a little out of context, or interpreted them through a faulty filter and plans to act accordingly.

The question is, does Rupert realize that Violet is a complete psychopath? You’d think it’d be obvious for someone as smart as him, but there are a lot of blind spots in family, and I find it likely that he is unaware of her… extracurricular activities as they don’t intersect with his own like the rest of the family’s does, and he seems too busy to keep up with everyone.
