Mum's the word Why Should I Care
Why Should I Care?
Your bestie tells you that she just hooked up with the hottest guy at school. This is huge, but she wants it to be kept just between you two. We've been there. It's hard keeping secrets, and that's the exact message of this scene.
Hume might say he'll keep his mouth muted, but in reality, he's the reason Eleanor gets taken down. Some secrets are just too big to be kept inside. We're not getting behind what Hume did, but we get what it's like to have a secret that's so big, it's bubbling up inside and taking over all your thoughts.
Sometimes mum isn't the word. (Just don't be a tattletale like Hume.)
