Denouement E.2
Added 2021-02-15 21:25:04 +0000 UTCSurprise! Bet no one was expecting this chapter to be from this character's perspective. Well, someone made a suggestion about her in the SV thread a while back, and I was like, "You know, that might not be a half bad idea." Somehow, I don't think they had exactly this in mind, but hey, I never said I wasn't making the idea my own.
Well, I've said it at some point before that I hate treating characters like stereotypes or cardboard cutouts, and I prefer treating them like people. People are messy and petty and cruel by turns, sure, but they're also complicated and nuanced and have a lot more to them than just "I'm an evil bitch, lulz!"
So I gave this character a touch of humanity.
As usual, play some "spot the reference" in this one.
Also, I'm not a licensed therapist. I have some training in psychology, but not enough to give anything more than my amateur opinion. I tried to avoid Hollywood therapy tropes, but I have no idea exactly how successful I was.
