manipulation: brainwashing

"Vienna! Vienna..
_Ah..did I..lose consciousness?
"Yes, yes, I woke up, stop shaking me and calm down

“How could I calm down when you all of a sudden collapsed in front of me.

"Okay, um... I think we should go back.

Returning to the hall, she saw an unusual scene.
She saw Mina with a red cheek and her mother next to her.
_oh damn, what's the matter,again.._
She shook her head and sighed as people attacked her.
'This is her daughter, isn't it?
'They say she's such a hypocrite
'constantly helps the poor and common people as a saint
'but isn't it funny?
'Like mother like daughter...my goodness
Argen, who was standing next to her, could no longer listen to this nonsense and covered her ears.
“What’s going on? What did I do wrong again? I wasn’t even here...

"Don't listen to them, they are just...

"What?

“They’ll crush your bones and let themselves calm down... so don’t pay attention...

“Yes, I know...they wanna just find a scapegoat.

Everyone was staring at her and seemed to be examining every corner of her body.

"There you are!
Ray ran to her and pulled her out of Argen’s hands.

"What are you doing?

“Where have you been? I searched everywhere for you!

"Why do you need me?

"Your mother was looking for you...

"Mom? Why?

“I don’t know, but it seemed like it was an urgent matter and you were nowhere to be found..

"I...ugh, I shouldn't have left...

"Well, the celebration has come to an end, so with this,farewell..

"Yes,wish you a good journey...

_and I’ll have to listen to new criticism on the way home.._

They got into the carriage and no one had the desire to look at each other, the father stuck his face in the newspaper, the mother looked at her bracelet and Vienna looked at the floor and was silent like a fish in a well.
But suddenly something loosened Leila’s tongue and she made her contribution to the evening...

“Where were you? Didn’t I tell you not to move out of my sight? I searched you... do you understand how disgraced I was because of you?

"Sorry...

“I clearly told you not to cause problems... which ear did you listen to when you did exactly the opposite?

"I..

"Shut up!" Leila shouted.
You can’t even imagine what humiliation I had to endure in front of the entire circle of society... if only you weren’t there...

“Wife... calm down, there’s no need to make a scene here

"Yes, dear...

“What did I do wrong?! You always shift the blame onto me, even without paying attention to how people treat me and how your high society throws mud at me!! Have you ever been interested in my condition? Even though I’m your daughter, I feel like a stray on the street, a dog that's kept on a leash! Yes, I never even asked you to give birth to me! Who are you to get rid of me? Why should I worry about everything when I am nothing to you!

_I would like to tell them all this and leave.. but I’m not in a position to organize strikes.._

"We've arrived... we'll talk at home, but for now, get yourself in order..
