Warnings: None, really.

It was supposed to ease the burden. But unfortunately, emotions didn't work that way.

Sodia found it ironic, because here she was, dirtying her own hands over a vile man who'd soiled his own hands thrice as much as herself. Ragou, Cumore, Alexei...

Didn't he honestly deserve what she gave him, though? The pain she was trying so desperately hard to reflect back upon him?

Well, no, he didn't–

But... didn't that make her just as guilty as he?

But the Commandant—didn't Flynn... deserve to be happy?

All she had wanted was for him to smile like he used to.

Oh Sodia, she just knows the irony and it's killing her. X/

I liked how you captured her feelings on what an awful and complicated position she just put herself in and can't get out of, much less figured out what to do.

Sodia is a character who struggles a lot with Yuri, and his friendship with Flynn. I find it really interesting that she's willing to risk so much for Flynn, even if that means troubling herself to do it.

Thank you!

Ohh, I love her struggle here. It's a fair look at her pretty heartbreaking position -- what she did was wrong, sure, but she did it because she felt she had to, and that comes across here.

Thanks! I love Sodia as a character. She has a lot of internal struggles, it seems.
