I found myself getting weirdly attached to the voice. Maybe it's because I was clicking the dialogue options for it? But I hope that things will be okay for it in the future. It was cruel, but in a way where it didn't understand it was being cruel or really what it meant to be cruel, because it was never taught that. And its fear is real, too. I'm glad Garbage held onto it instead of giving it away - it feels like a metaphor for not letting your trauma control you, but also not burying it or trying to remove it. It's still a part of you, after all - trying to get rid of it is neither feasible nor healthy.
