People have this idea that you can look at them, and just tell. But that's not how it works. Evil doesn't wear a trench coat, doesn't have bad teeth, doesn't announce itself. Sometimes evil looks just like everyone else.

The priests, the boy scout leaders, the day care workers, the baby sitters -- no one would have hired these people if they were drooling fiends with pointed teeth and claws.

Sometimes evil looks perfectly normal. Sometimes evil is a close friend. Sometimes evil is your brother. And maybe, in some cases, evil is you.
