cw: abuse logicish, complicated punishment thoughts

[isawallflower]

[ Sick, Maya says, because she doesn't know it's Riley’s body weak from revival. She almost clarifies. But, she doesn't want the pity. Not for something that she thinks about and can only conceptualize as justifiable punishment.

It's fine. The question shakes her from that soon after. ]

I've never been scared of Dandy, Maya, he was just rude to me and I didn't want it to happen again.
It’s fine, as long as he doesn't yell at me it'll be fine.

[missleadingquestions]

oh yeah i can't promise he won't be rude that's just kinda him
but

i'll help make sure he doesn't yell.

[isawallflower]

I can work with that then.
Both the attitude and the job.

[missleadingquestions]

[ Riley's eyes glaze over, and the world around her feels like it's filled with static.

Her claws are poised very precariously atop on her laptop. They tremble. The way they're moving, they almost—


She pulls them back.
A few long minutes later, she shoots back a quick, simple reply— ]

If I do it won't be by choice.
I'll see you there.

[ And then she shuts her laptop away. She's afraid, if she doesn't, that she'll break it again. ]
