...Before I arrived here, that miserable man who calls himself a "doctor" was all I had in my life. And while there can be comfort in the routine, there is little with a man who will beat you bloody for the slightest provocation. For making any moves "unbecoming" of the perfect little porcelain doll he said you were supposed to be.
Arriving here granted me freedom. It granted me, on some level, a deliciously ironic revenge, given the cell in which that man now rots.
It granted me people I've grown to care very much for.
[And she's going to keep eye contact as she says that, because he might as well know.]
But it has taken them away, just as well. Those that remain are hurting, those that remain yearn for freedom. So even if I could live in this gilded cage forever and find comfort in it, in the end, it is the wishes of you all I'd rather devote myself to now.
Not because it is my place as a servant, but because I genuinely desire your happiness.
cw: abuse, dehumanization
