            sí,   fine.    {  it  had  been  forgettable,   really,   how  easily  it  could  have  been  for  her  to  lose  her  life  within  henry's  mind.   between  the  desperation  for  max's  return  and  the  need  to  rectify  the  gaping  wound  that  had  opened  within  each  of  them,   mortality  was  a  worry  for  another  day.   another  girl,   another  story -  one  she  was  determined  to  have  max  there  to  tell.   even  now,  still  shadowed  in  the  survival  mode  of  the  last  several  days  within  camazotz,   she  takes  a  moment  to  fully  catch  up  on  what  lucas  has  said.  }    consider  max  my  formal  apology.    ( .. )    while  it  was  for  the  better  you  remained  behind,   i  can  see  how  an  independent  decision  may  go  against  the  concept  of  teamwork.

*/   trust  that  i  will  come  around  to  all  replies,   but  first:  dahlia  saving  el  at  the  end  of  s5  is  a  full  circle  moment  for  her  character.   she  was  specifically  trained  to  dismantle  armies & governments  molecule  by  molecule,  brainwashed  into  the  perfect  soldier / machine,  but  dahlia  puts  her  family  above  everyone  else  at  the  end  of  the  day.   she  IS  the  perfect  weapon,   she  CAN  wipe  out  groups  of  powerful  people,   and  while  eleven  is  less  likely  to  risk  entire  countries  and  families,   dahlia  doesn't  care  about  that.   it's  her  sister  above  all  else.   in  a  way,   brenner  played  a  massive  part  in  the  downfall  of  the  government  plan  by  making  the  machine  of  their  dreams.

*/   i  truly  never  thought  dahlia  being  aggressively  morally  grey  would  come  in  handy  like  this,  but  like.   the  duffers  unintentionally  helped  set  up  the  best  arc  possible  for  her  character  with  this  one.

*/   i  do  think  that  the  lab  kids  having  no  understanding  of  discrimination  whatsoever  is  objectively  hilarious.   dahlia  is  canonically  so  confused  as  to  why  will  thinks  she'll  care  about  him  being  gay  &&  i  think  that's  beautiful.

*/   ++  she  had  no  idea  straight  was  the  'default'.   that  was  not  clicking  to  her.   she  thought  everyone  viewed  boys  and  girls  the  same.   bi  and  completely  unaware  of  it.

*/   like  she  very  obviously  grasps  the  concepts  as   a  woc,   but  she  also...  doesn't,  if  that  makes  sense?   the  way  i  interpreted  it  was  the  lab  kids  already  having  realized  there's  bigger  fish  to  fry.   in  dahlia's  mind,   she's  wondering  who  tf  cares  about  a  little  gay  boy  in  hawkins  when  another  dimension  is  wide  open.    catch  up  everyone.

i've spent so long…  circling through henry’s mind. his memories. i saw where you grew up. the room with rainbows.

            {  to  the  untrained  eye,   dahlia  doesn't  seem  to  realize  max  spoke.    her  back  is  turned,   her  hands  kept  busy  as  she  tracks  the  map  of  camazotz  with  one  chipped  black  fingernail.   it  is  a  prodding  of  wounds  she's  yet  to  disinfect,   the  peeling  back  of  skin  that's  grown  over  in  patches  rather  than  healed  flawlessly,   and  with  their  freedom  still  at  risk,   dahlia  is  more  inclined  to  dismiss  a  statement  rather  than  keep  it  going.
            in  the  same  breath,   max  and  el  are  one  in  the  same.   she  can  never  deny  them  anything.  }    i  preferred  calling  it  the  exposure  room,    {  her  voice  is  almost  too  calm  with  the  force  it  takes  not  to  prickle,  memories,  ghosts  of  what  was  and  what  still  is  the  shadows  fogging  her  mind.   she  knows  better  than  to  adhere  to  the  entrapment  of  youth  now,   but  the  anger,   the  fear,  still  sits  like  a  rabid  animal  chained  to  the  pit  of  her  stomach.  }   pero  sí,   they  called  it  the  rainbow  room.   we  had  color  in  there,   some  toys  for  enrichment.   it  is  where  we  spent  the  most  time  together.

after all of this.. i think it's pretty clear that you can let lucas breathe a little, lia. he’s…  he’s good to me.

            would  you  prefer  i  have  no  fun ?   {  it's  no  surprise  that  dahlia's  idea  of  a  lighthearted  question  presents  itself  as  flat,  nimble  fingers  expertly  detangling  the  small  knots  formed  near  the  roots  with  enough  care  to  cause  no  pain.   truth  be  told,   she's  grown  fond  of  lucas  in  her  own  way;  to  separate  his  intentions  from  her  sister,   she  can  almost  consider  him  a  companion.  }    i  have  seen  how  he  cares  for  you,   osita.   i  can  assure  you  he's  breathing  much  easier  than  michael  is.
