"I don't know how you do it, O.
How you put up with everything I've put you through, and how only sometimes life seems even remotely easier. After the fiasco at the park I haven't wanted to leave the house, and I certainly haven't wanted her to leave the house either. Obviously she has, but I've begun to wonder if she gets that sort of attention at her work too. Thinking back on it, women in that industry have always had it bad when in comes to harassment. She told me that it isn't that bad, and that the other women she works with all look out for each other. I'm tempted to just sit there for a shift, just to see.
But I know better than that. O wouldn't stand for it, not only because she already told me it's nothing to worry about, but because I know Ophelia can handle herself. Everything about her, her youthful appearance, her innocent-seeming mindset, her ever-growing knowledge of the world, it makes me believe that she is someone I do need to protect. But all those things veil the fact that she is just like me; the scars on her body prove just what she can survive.
She survived me at my worst, I'm sure she can handle anything else that is thrown at her. Not that I want anything else to worry about. I used to worry that it would be the government or HYDRA or some other organization that would come for us. That is finally starting to ebb, allowing room for other things."
