"Eyes Without a Face"
"It's about trying to reconnect with her body, which she feels disconnected from now,"
"Maybe it's less about intimacy in that moment and more about agency."
Sweetpea Golightly is a Gen-Z finance analyst who excels at tracing convoluted financial transactions and exposing corporate wrongdoing. She joins SternTao to short Tender after warning Pierpoint about massive debts. She travels to Accra with colleague Kwabena to investigate Tender's payment processing, uncovers a paper company SwiftGC and confronts sketchy CFO Tony Day. A local man assaults her on a beachside restroom; she survives but experiences disconnection from her body. She seeks sexual validation from Kwabena to reclaim agency rather than process the assault. Her background as a TikTok influencer and OnlyFans creator contrasts with her professional competence and persistence.
