Ok, guys, admittedly.....it would be different to see Tam turn evil. It would BREAK MY HEART AND CRUSH MY SOUL......But it’s still be different, and think about it! The only reasons I could think of Tam turning evil are these:

1. Tam starts thinking along Keefe’s lines. He believes that if he stays, beyond saving Linh, he can make sure the Neverseen don't hurt his friends from the inside. Maybe he can gamble with his own life. Of course, this isn’t evil, quite the opposite actually, but think about the Neverseen’s determination to get Tam on their side. They won’t hesitate to throw the full load of their propaganda at him, and who knows, maybe it’ll lodge in that deep, subconscious part of his brain that he can’t really reach.

2. He actually believes them. Linh and Sophie have made a point to show us how much more bitter towards his parents Tam is than his sister. He knows it’s unfair, and he knows that he can’t do anything to fix it—-not by himself. But if he had the Neverseen on his side, he could finally make a better world for his sister, for the triplets, for every other multiple birth out there. And why wouldn’t the Neverseen keep their promises? Once they remade the world, what did they have to lose?

3. Linh dies and Tam blames Sophie. Now, this one is a major stretch in my opinion, but it’s out there. Tam’s reasonable enough to know that if Linh came to harm, the Neverseen were probably behind it. In fact, I think he’s reasonable to see past most, if not all the Neverseen’s mind games. But just in case Linh’s death makes him go a bit crazy, he might blame Sophie. We already know he doesn’t trust Sophie enough to protect Linh, and if i’m Being honest, I can see why. But that’s another discussion. We all know Tam is bitter, and if he vows revenge on Sophie, he might use the Neverseen as a way to do it.

But in all honesty, I don’t think any of these will happen. I can see something like Keefe happening, but I can’t see him turning fully evil. He’s too good of a person, and Linh is his anchor. And long as she’s there, he’d rather die than hurt her or anyone she cares about.
