wow, it only really hit me in retrospect how well you convey sunny's subtle manipulation of anita, how she worms a conversation to get thanked for solving the problems she causes. anita just kinda lets all her edge and idiosyncrasy get castrated to become a hollow imitation of her own past. reminded me a lot of the movie Adaption for some reason where the movie is about a self-abusive dialogue about making the movie one is actively making. i don't have the experience of being in a fandom or being groomed, so sorry that's my only point of reference. also shoutout harlan ellison!
