To y'all who think that the Vacker on the cover is actually Alvar, AGREED.

You want to know why this scene is happening? And why Sophie looks so demonic?

Because Keefe betrayed them again and rejoined the Neverseen and is now using his enhanced empath powers to control Sophie's emotions and make her evil and force her to be angry at her friends and attack them. And that's Alvar. He and Keefe are helping Sophie attack her friends.

Oh, and Keefe never left the Neverseen. He's always been evil and has been a double agent for them. Why else would he rescue Alvar and give them the leaping crystal to Alluvettre? Because he's evil. This entire time, he's been acting friendly to Sophie to gain her trust. He doesn't actually love her. He's just like his parents. In fact, his parents aren't that mean to him. It was all just an act to gain Sophie's sympathy. Cassius is actually a really nice guy, it's just Keefe lies about him.

And you want to know why he lashed out at Sophie in Neverseen and acted like his true, hidden, secret self? Because Cassius was about to join the Black Swan so that he could talk to Sophie and her friends without Keefe and warn them that Keefe was still evil. But Keefe didn't want that, did he? SO he revealed his true self and lashed out at poor Fitz and Sophie, who were both just trying to help the boy they thought was their friend.

So, yeah. That's not Fitz. Fitz is being inflicted on right now, along with Dex, Linh, Biana, Marella, and Tam. That's Alvar and his bestie Keefe. And they're controlling Sophie. And using her as a weapon.

Because Keefe's evil.

And he's been evil all along.
