Tw: this story includes emotional abuse and manipulation
Before she wore a badge, Lucy Chen learned to be perfect. Quiet, graceful, obedient-never loud, never messy, never enough. In a home ruled by expectation and silence, love was earned through flawlessness, and tears were seen as weakness. She was born bright and full of feeling, but raised to hide every part that didn't fit. This is the story of the girl before the strength the world now sees.
This story is vaugly based off of Billie Eilish's song, Blue, from the part where it goes 'you were born bluer than a butterfly, beautiful and so deprived of oxygen'
This story is my own original idea, only Lucy and her parents are canon, and maybe I'll bring in Jackson and John later, idk, other than that, the characters are my own.
