as small as a world and as large as alone

when complying with the prompting is graceful, and resisting is immediately humiliating, rude, out of line

When they make it so that you’re doing a dance.  And the dance looks beautiful to all the onlookers.

And when you resist, it’s as if you dropped a glass of champagne on their foot and it shatters and you spilled food down their shirt and accidentally kneed them in the groin, all at once, everything that is embarrassing and clumsy.

And worse, besides, but I know the pattern, and it is despicable.

and when they fight at all costs to make you return to ~appropriate behavior~ and they sound kind and compassionate in the words they use and you feel more and more awful and can’t figure out why
