Summary
She thinks of Victoria’s face. She thinks of the smooth, unblemished skin, the bright, sharp eyes that haven't yet seen the absolute worst the world has to offer.
(She thinks of being the one to taint her before the world does, to taint her so much so that she goes into the world unaffected, unafraid.)
