We could see it in her eyes on the rare occasions she opened them. She was awake, but not with us. Aware, but not of us.
Neither of them dealt with it well. Enna raged, lashed out at everything. Her eyes sparked, but not with life anymore. She was like an animated doll. Liam slept with her all the time. If she was not awake, he would not be awake.
Were any of them conscious? Sick, raging, sleeping. They were the same.
When she died, it was like they died too. Consciousness was an illusion. They were merely empty shells.

This was written long after the draft was completed, and it's more the backstory of Enna and Liam than anything else. Although they appear to be twins in the novel, they're actually triplets.
This is from Katrien's point of view, talking about them later.
