“-Because they're free.
-They might look free, but they aren't. Believe me. You're free.
-How am I free?
-You're free to be modest. You're free to not smoke up. You're free to be here and listen and not respond to the nonsense that Hanna spouts. You're very calm, and you're very comfortable with yourself.”

You pretend interest in their problems, radiate approval, and you reflect back to them the things they want to see.”
― Stephanie Scott, What's Left of Me Is Yours
