You've seen the end... Haven't you...?

Once again Tina gives a master-class in how to look so suspicious she might as well be holding a flashing sign proclaiming her guilt. I think the other commenters are forgetting Dana. We haven't seen her in a few chapters, but she's the one who would have put a missing persons report out for Eva. Why she would have waited this many weeks, I wouldn't understand.

I'd be very surprised at this point if Tina is not suspect number 1 in the eyes of the police, and even Dana. I'd expect after how flustered Tina got when prompted on Eva's whereabouts plus weeks of no Eva that any denial that Tina is involved would have trickled to 0. After all, Dana would know about the shrink ray's existence, and if Amy figured it out, Dana would likely have figured it out as well.

Guessing how this ends is actually extremely difficult, because we have no information on the capabilities of the shrink ray. Does it have some way to locate a shrunken object? Can Tina just blast a wide area until Eva shows up? I think Eva can be restored, because despite Amy using Tina for her own ends, I don't think Amy would want to hurt Tina by having Eva lost forever.

Does Dana suspect Tina? Does the cop? I would expect the cop to have a better poker-face than Tina. It doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to see all the signals Tina is putting off. Tina is so delusional that she sees what she wants to see. She doesn't even seem aware enough to acknowledge the wall her back is against. Her alarm bells ring, and she puts them on snooze.

Is Tina going to crumble over the weekend or is Eva? We've already seen cracks growing and guilt starting to eat at Tina. A whole weekend where she can't think about much else especially after her latest torture of Eva. Eva is in a realm with no sound and no motion. She's on the scale of atoms, which means she's millions of times smaller than a millimeter or billions of times smaller than a human. Sensory deprivation wrecks people in real life in hours. she's got at bare minimum 48 hours + Friday after Tina left and Monday before Tina arrives. If she's strong she can recover, but I doubt it's pretty.

Did shrinking that small make any unintentional modifications to Eva's biology? She's already part plant.

This is looking like it will turn out poorly for Tina. The only question is how much of Eva will be left to save.

Amy is definitely manipulating Tina to some extent, but there's one reason against shrinking Tina. One missing person is an isolated incident. Two missing people who worked at the same place and knew each other is pattern that the police will not ignore.

Tina has the mind of a child.
It becomes more clear to me that Amy has complete control in this relationship and probaly always had with her. Always being manipulated by Amy to do stuff.

Tina can see the straightup bully who doesn't hide behind false kindness, but not people who act kind to her, but clearly manipulate her.

Not saying that Amy is pure evil and also has limits how much hard should be done. But I have a feeling when she feels threatened enough by certain factors that increase the chance of being found out and that such a threatlevel dangerously coming close to a certain threshold for her, than she could decide that keeping Eva alive in the care of Tina is a liability.

And with that reasoning, she can use Tina as a possible scapegoat. Have a feeling she built in safety nets unaware to Tina.
I think that Amy after a while came to the conclusion that after her experiments, letting Eva live would be dangerous.

Letting Tina do this in the office, not her, but Tina. To give someone the idea that it is ok to shrink someone to subatomic levels is safe, is beyond absurd.
Your theories would be miles away from being correct with so many possible variables and something never tested before.
Those assurances are lies, but Amy is well aware of what easy buttons to push to get Tina to do something and justify them for Tina who is so willing to accept any justification from someone what she has been doing to Eva.

Amy could have decided that she has enough data in combination with her fear the police won't let it go and that there is enough evidence left behind by Tina to take her down aswell. 
Tina is weak, and already gone to Eva's house leaving clues behind and is careless and Amy knows that.
Eva has to eventually disappear for good before something goes wrong. If Tina is cought with Eva, than Amy will be in trouble.

Maybe Amy knows something else that could endanger her, but that action was clearly to get rid of someone. Because you can't make it believable that Amy or Tina can ever find Eva at subatomic level. That is impossible. If Eva ever wants to get back, she has to grow back herself.

But this kidn of action from Amy must for 80 percent had the intention of getting rid of her for good.

Tina set out wanting to break Eva's spirit. Despite her telling herself and Eva that she wasn't a bully, she wasn't cruel, and that she's only doing proper karma towards Eva the cracks are forming from what I've been thinking. Tina, what you been doing towards her isn't isn't jailtime or punishment, it is abuse. Her durability from the shrinking only encouraged you to do some very violent things she would survive but still feel. Of course Eva is still fighting and resisting you. In her mind none of this is justified and fair. Her treatment has kind of been like living with an abusive lover who beats you and degrades you. Heck Tina never even ahd to do the usual most of us do with a horrible boss, pack up and quit. Eva was fired and out the door with Tina getting her job. In a way the proper punishment was already delivered.

 

The ironic thing is that now that Tina's thinking maybe I am being too cruel, maybe I am going to far, and that when she brings Eva back she's going to take it easy and slow for a bit is that it might be too late. It wouldn't surprise me if the experience finally breaks Eva's will or mind. Especially if Tina let's slip that the police finally started looking for her but have no leads but even the investigator didn't have confidence in discovering foul play. Thing is if Eva finally breaks down when Tina's finally feeling guilty and ready to reverse course, what will she do? Be overcome with guilt and try to put Eva's mind back together. Just convince herself she was worrying over nothing, the bug's will has finally broke. Or spend a good amount of time either ignoring her or halfheartedly interacitng with her before deciding to change?

 

I'm curious if Amy has a role to play in an investigation into Eva's disapperance. As Tina claimed, Eva really didn't have any friends at work and I doubt Amy would start a tip off without a plan, so the missing persons report could've came from some random friedn Eva knows outside of work. If Tina finally has a guilt trip and confesses to Amy she's thinking on growing Eva back and letting her go, I can easily see Amy betraying her. If Eva grows back, she can name-call Amy as someone who knew she'd been shrunk and kidnapped and even tormented her alongside her kidnapper when she found her. Unless Tina has some convincing character development about hwo she's putting it all behind her, at some point I can see Amy and Tina fighting to shrink the other, one to cover her tracks and the other in self defense.

In this story, you should never take one character's perspective as an accurate view of what's going on. Tina thinks that the cop doesn't suspect her and will now move on, so it's entirely possible that Tina is under suspicion, and missed the signs. Did the cop really not see anything, or did the cop find Tina's behaviour (especially body language) suspicious and didn't tip her off? When the cop said that she can't comment on an ongoing investigation, that says nothing and could mean anything. Or the cop could've taken Tina's behaviour as a sign that Tina wasn't expecting to see her.

So Tina still has misgivings. What this means is that Tina knew how extreme her torture was, and did it anyway. She could let up, or get used to this.

And has Amy been contacted by the police?
