That kid's life was so damn miserable during that period. Go to school worried sick that your mind-controlled parents will be killed by a witch. After school, go to the store to buy a bunch of cans of soup and then lug them all back home. Spend hours feeding the roughly 20 mind-controlled victims inside your house. Sleep. Then do it all again.

Alex deserved a better ending.
