[ The parasites... She knows it didn't go very well for Atem either, then. She knows, logically, Ryou would've been involved. There's something she should be delicate about, but.
The second time being taken over by something like that was worse than the first. More relationships to play on, more emotions to manipulate. How the hydra shoveled her away into the corner of her own mind, until it needed her to funnel the pain from Mukuro's claws into its host. Steve in the car. Atem in her apartment. Frantically clawing at the hardwood, begging him to wake up, to listen to her.
It's left her wary. And she can never let herself forget that wariness. ]
