I'd like to point out that bats are always "kinda in the middle". I remember reading this one fairy tale where the birds and the animals wage wars, and the bat just switches sides depending on who was winning.

Whenever the birds were winning, the bat would point to its wings. But when the animals were winning, the bat would point out how it looked like a mouse. So in the end the birds won and cursed the bat to only come out at night.

I think this plays with the duality theme in Story of Evil.
