179Please respect copyright.PENANAEmsmmV33kX
Bethany lays on Grayson's chest in his arms as he rests his eyes, her doing the same in his shared apartment where Ester, Mikey and Solayo reside. Sitting not far from Bethany and Grayson is an empty cheese, chocolate and fruit platter and an elequoant empty bottle, two glasses.179Please respect copyright.PENANAHrBb6iznqP
179Please respect copyright.PENANAqHzqgSFmbS
The sun is setting for the day, his friends are returning for the day. "So... how'd it go... with..." Mikey keeps stuttering.179Please respect copyright.PENANA3xO26cYU2C
179Please respect copyright.PENANAxXdstKVvYl
"It went fine with Cloud. He helped me out."179Please respect copyright.PENANAzpcr7bw9L3
179Please respect copyright.PENANAlRGSFIB4ar
"I'm suprised his..."179Please respect copyright.PENANAcmgv4nOZry
179Please respect copyright.PENANARjmw9p26Iz
"He just doesn't wanna stay down there miserable that bastard. His doing this for himself rather than for the benfit of everyone in this community, to get time outside."179Please respect copyright.PENANAWLvNBOtlcD
179Please respect copyright.PENANAdLMmZfIdd2
"Well, it's not really time outside. He doesn't get to go out onto the farm or anything. It's still the lower floors in the minus." Estes speaks up.179Please respect copyright.PENANANgaHTOX94l
179Please respect copyright.PENANAX7Fsxb9OgE
"Yeah, his not getting a chance of sunlight till I'm confident his fully moldable." Solayo responds. 179Please respect copyright.PENANAOipmOQZgYv
179Please respect copyright.PENANAi75kVxKEDl
"And... how long are we going to keep the rest down there?" Mikey whispers.179Please respect copyright.PENANAAdSKHS0s3n
179Please respect copyright.PENANAw7yYLXZ5Tl
"As long as it takes all of them. One doesn't get to leave, they all have to be ready. The chaos that would ensue if each one isn't ready and able to cope- What are you doing, Grayson?" Solayo speaks up, eyes annoyed when he sees Beth, the food and the booze.179Please respect copyright.PENANAtHaZLwluot
179Please respect copyright.PENANAQtXH9YxDYm
He opens his eyes, realizing his food is back. Mikey eyes Grayson boxers on the floor. "Uh, his fooling around-"179Please respect copyright.PENANAiODtJuwI9V
179Please respect copyright.PENANAtkHpmLLVSM
"I don't advise you-" Ester adds on, cutting Mikey off, but Solayo cuts her off.179Please respect copyright.PENANAL3X6W3MhgY
179Please respect copyright.PENANApVHQqNY3OC
"Shut up both of you. Grayson, please get your boxers on and yes or no, answer me honestly. Are you fooling around or do you like her? Because we have spent the last two months getting the ones who came back on meds as well, and this could disrupt her regime.179Please respect copyright.PENANA4rLXEWPOEp
179Please respect copyright.PENANAc2bjnrmsWW
What if she freaks out on you and realizes what she's doing?"179Please respect copyright.PENANABj8qQQypw9
179Please respect copyright.PENANAnSCtdkcVFW
"She won't freak out. Merge erases their backstory, but not your consciousness. She wanted to- what her and me did, we both wanted this.179Please respect copyright.PENANAQgneeo5X5I
179Please respect copyright.PENANA1BSEkihNpw
And I like her, she's really pretty and I'm better for her anyway."179Please respect copyright.PENANAhxvtjWAS6B
179Please respect copyright.PENANARpt25OBHgf
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure if Slate knew, he'd have something to say about that-" But Mikey doesn't get to finish, Solayo backhanding him behind the ear. "I'm sorry, Solayo." 179Please respect copyright.PENANAzuOkgI3EZ0
179Please respect copyright.PENANAPrvp1KPmfD
"He wouldn't, neither him or her barely remember eachother. She forgot how she came here, and now she forgot being here and escaping and it's the same for him." Solayo hisses. "As far as those two are concerned, the other is just a stranger who resides on the same floor as and they don't know how they got here except the false story I told them, they came at diffrent times.179Please respect copyright.PENANAkmhQL3yFtQ
179Please respect copyright.PENANAaRYPvF2MUS
They barely interact socially."179Please respect copyright.PENANAiGvitOF8Ao
179Please respect copyright.PENANAdAFC5Ixhf4
"Gray, for fuck sake. Just pick up your pants." Ester says annoyed. "Hey, baby. I'm sorry, I'm just goanna move for a second." Grayson tells Beth gently, moving her head off his lap, pulling the bed sheet around him while he grabs his pants.179Please respect copyright.PENANAkqXqZ7HuEE
179Please respect copyright.PENANAJOB8T41Mnh
Unlike him, she is clothed kind of. Nothing is showing, but it's just undergarments on. She sits up, tired and confused.179Please respect copyright.PENANAJv1DGb6srl
179Please respect copyright.PENANAvHo8njDR3v
"And while we're on the topic of sex, tell me you use a goddamn condomn." Ester adds on.179Please respect copyright.PENANAT6XwIx3wxZ
179Please respect copyright.PENANAOXPLHd4aMO
"Uh..."179Please respect copyright.PENANAIblyaLfTdn
179Please respect copyright.PENANAA3GGz0UEmv
"You fucking idiot, Gray!"179Please respect copyright.PENANAHfTladFaCL
179Please respect copyright.PENANAs2a8lGxYIO
"Ester, I'm sorry-"179Please respect copyright.PENANAirBdcFU5qW
179Please respect copyright.PENANANl6Tkqlge3
"Don't you Ester me!"179Please respect copyright.PENANAae011M045g
179Please respect copyright.PENANA6P9G2Qj3c3
"Listen to her." Solayo snarls. "Now, I'm going to go set the table now for dinner. Get Beth dressed again and take her backdownstairs-" 179Please respect copyright.PENANAglSArVKON6
179Please respect copyright.PENANAfxSMmg2DTw
When there is a squeal, Beth diving for the small cheese knife. It's on the blunt side, but it's the only weapon in sight.179Please respect copyright.PENANA7qX0QiJbYv
179Please respect copyright.PENANACOeLWrOKo8
"Beth-" Gray begins, his pants now on and he drops the bed sheet.179Please respect copyright.PENANAd6HelAovBR
179Please respect copyright.PENANATHsWTZOQta
"You sick fuck! What did you do?! How did I get here!" She screams, focusing on Grayson not noticing Solayo prepping a needle.179Please respect copyright.PENANAt8GfDKPrmr
179Please respect copyright.PENANAWwH8fPX6Gk
"And that's what we we're worried about, ya pervert." Mikey chastisies him.179Please respect copyright.PENANAFCZfa9J4RV
179Please respect copyright.PENANAQri51k3Uh1
"She's 19!" Grayson shouts back.179Please respect copyright.PENANAd8SZGpBtLw
"We don't care, her meds are the problem! The open alochol there, the endorphines from- I'm not going to finish that last part!" Ester yells back.179Please respect copyright.PENANAYosIHgdwz1
179Please respect copyright.PENANA91SXwZvFfY
"What did you do! What did we do!" Beth yells again at Grayson threatening him with the knife.179Please respect copyright.PENANAMNoTe75210
179Please respect copyright.PENANAYG6bgT42fU
"You don't remember us talking and-" 179Please respect copyright.PENANAtQdWipVPNQ
179Please respect copyright.PENANAIc5kkJprYP
But she doesn't let him finish. "Shut up! I don't wanna hear it! You're sick. You fucking sicko!"179Please respect copyright.PENANAYFFFn3mBxo
179Please respect copyright.PENANAcPlWfNncpY
"Beth, I know you're scared. But I need you to hand over the knife. Can you do that? Hand it to me?" Mikey coaxes, gently sliding towards Bethany, gesturing with his hand when she aims it at him, threatening him too.179Please respect copyright.PENANApuxh347MKG
179Please respect copyright.PENANAfgSau7vbsy
"Woah!"179Please respect copyright.PENANA26zhfJUWLI
179Please respect copyright.PENANA9yVPNVrl9X
"Solayo!" Ester calls out. 179Please respect copyright.PENANAuJq0nqr771
179Please respect copyright.PENANAlQZpHeqEuS
"Handle it!" He calls back. It takes a bit, but Mikey manages to calm her down enough that she hands over the knife.179Please respect copyright.PENANAmGVfTtQpii
"There we go. Beth, can you let Ester here help you dress?"179Please respect copyright.PENANACWOi778yId
179Please respect copyright.PENANAazrjC6YfLO
She nods softly and Ester helps her, Mikey putting the knife away and forcing Grayson to walk and talk with him.179Please respect copyright.PENANA3aAPDFKyU8
179Please respect copyright.PENANAPXz9wqL1mt
When Beth's dressed, Ester has her sit and Mikey comes back over to them while Grayson hangs back a short distance. Solayo comes back over.179Please respect copyright.PENANAaGxR4xOilJ
179Please respect copyright.PENANAgMkpIiiUfq
"Now, Beth. This won't hurt much, just a small prick-" But she dives away, Mikey grabbing her by the foot and pulling her back. "No, you don't!" He yells. 179Please respect copyright.PENANA9NCRx1WqfE
179Please respect copyright.PENANAOl4oJ8xNpo
"Let go of me!" Beth yells at him, Ester stepping away as Solayo takes her other arm, assisting and presses down with the needle. "No, no! Ah-" She cries, starting to cry. 179Please respect copyright.PENANAGkArWIfMXC
179Please respect copyright.PENANAAhR7xCEBrO
He and Mikey roughly pick her up and move her from Grayson's bed to Ester, on account hers as restraints attached already... they secure them.179Please respect copyright.PENANAsHZOeObljo
179Please respect copyright.PENANAokUdQjdYBz
Ester sitting beside Mikey on his bed as they have dinner, Grayson on his own and Solayo on his own. They're almost finished when Beth wakes up a bit. Solayo quickly places his plate aside, hops down to Beth's level gently brushing her hair aside and keeps brushing her forehead.179Please respect copyright.PENANA2EW6EKmR85
179Please respect copyright.PENANAP3kVtEUkkT
"How we feeling, darling?"
"T-tired."179Please respect copyright.PENANAPoxXnpavqI
179Please respect copyright.PENANATSgif2NiNP
"Yeah. Can we take you back to your room now? Are you calm enough?"179Please respect copyright.PENANAVS1DJ6TPUr
179Please respect copyright.PENANAnliGxvrEPe
She nods weakly, struggling to keep her eyes open. "Okay, let's go there then." and he undoes the straps, lifting her up in his arms. "Mikey, with me. You both, stay here." He says annoyed as he leaves their apartment with Beth, Mikey following.179Please respect copyright.PENANASKxwjkwl3y
179Please respect copyright.PENANASNyU1s5jQa
Outside, he gives Mikey his pass and have him swipe the door rendering Ester and Grayson's pass useless, then gives it back to Solayo who snatches it and continues off towards the elevator. 179Please respect copyright.PENANAgnz3TeMtCx
179Please respect copyright.PENANAjebRFDmxju
When they head to floor 13, the rest of our group is dressed and ready for bed having had dinner when they see Solayo and Mikey with bed.179Please respect copyright.PENANASHOopkjy5e
179Please respect copyright.PENANAbiSy2K9Etp
"Evening, Solayo." Slate whispers softly looking tired and drugged out. 179Please respect copyright.PENANAwKVKspbwIg
179Please respect copyright.PENANAcLf5W3mAFT
"Evening, Slate. You ready for bed? How was dinner?"179Please respect copyright.PENANAfO0ABqUkG6
179Please respect copyright.PENANA7geAXM8BJ7
"Good."179Please respect copyright.PENANAvBVfl54T4H
179Please respect copyright.PENANA1UfH7dAUmf
"Good. You know the drill, boy." 179Please respect copyright.PENANAZOmhtaksY2
179Please respect copyright.PENANAzGtoqktgbH
And Slate heads into his room, Mikey locking it behind him. He then ushers Cloud, Lyla and Gideo into their respective rooms. Paisley is already in bed, hardly leaves hers. "Night, Paisley. Sweet dreams..." Mikey trails off awkwardly, locking it.179Please respect copyright.PENANA6jdy8HfMq6
179Please respect copyright.PENANAP0Qdt40vn6
He then heads to Beth's, Beth already in bed and tucked in by Solayo. "Restraints?" He asks. 179Please respect copyright.PENANA3ei2Q38Hy0
179Please respect copyright.PENANA9iJJfs1enU
"Nah, we don't need em. She's calmer and we'll just sleep this off. Plus she ate anyway even if it wasn't dinner..."179Please respect copyright.PENANA4GKFgBvNea
179Please respect copyright.PENANA3qLeJfxmLn
"She'll have a mild hangover tomorrow..."179Please respect copyright.PENANAFFeoyrtQ1a
179Please respect copyright.PENANAXP7pSKoWEG
"Yeah, that's goanna be hell for her. Bring her to me later, I'll give her an IV and the morning after."179Please respect copyright.PENANAEtjrFVBFYO
179Please respect copyright.PENANAcjBanvk7jK
"Okay. Y-yeah..."179Please respect copyright.PENANADog6cN6q5N
179Please respect copyright.PENANAi2GEOBY5gM
"Let's go back upstairs now, finish our dinner." 179Please respect copyright.PENANAqcnVIeNFQG
179Please respect copyright.PENANApM5iNBVLnY
And our pair leave, dimming the lights to the floor for the evening.179Please respect copyright.PENANAYfFedQV4HL

(Three and half years later)179Please respect copyright.PENANAizvyzyoUo0
179Please respect copyright.PENANAciim5a5jcJ
Our group now around 24-25 not that they know it are all getting out today, three years and a half is a long time, but they hardly recall over half their time. Working towards this part of their rehabilation was difficult when the real truth is it was never about redemption, it was just cruel punishment before it even began and after constant drugging, it's a concept they can't comprehend.179Please respect copyright.PENANAEnYs8LLrgF
179Please respect copyright.PENANAYIrjAnNe0O
Bethany's lying beside Gideon, head resting on shoulder as he sits on the floor, bouncing a plastic handball against the wall, coming right back to him.179Please respect copyright.PENANAmQQsBoKmpg
179Please respect copyright.PENANAYd4NQyYoAV
Slate sits beside them both numbly looking at his lap, occasionally giving the spin of a yoyo that is in his hand.179Please respect copyright.PENANACcqe6G2KcB
179Please respect copyright.PENANA2JcPbtjfc0
"Morning all." Cloud speaks up, coming out of his room. He recieves a few half hearted replies. With the group fairly unresponsive, he checks in on Lyla and Paisley, waking both girls. They each come out of their room.179Please respect copyright.PENANAFgQWKe93z2
179Please respect copyright.PENANAtbUYRGL0Y3
"So, uh, group. Ester, uh, asked me to debrief you today. The uh, leaders only just informed yesterday of the news.179Please respect copyright.PENANASbUFW6atOo
179Please respect copyright.PENANAMLujOowvhp
It seems we are actually getting out today so if you all could collect up what you have here that would be great, and it's also my understanding when we process out, there is some additional stuff we're to collect that we couldn't have due to safety."179Please respect copyright.PENANA2C3OYYHrfz
179Please respect copyright.PENANADl8iSsM8gK
"Safety?" Slate whispers. "Uh, I think you drew occasionally? I'm not sure, but I guess they didn't want you stabbing yourself, them or us with them.
Like the tip." Cloud answers awkwardly.179Please respect copyright.PENANAik3nbIgSNF
179Please respect copyright.PENANAg4yo0WM6Z5
Unlike the others, he knows the Tomorrow Party and is good at faking it for the long haul. The amount of time he cheeked the unesscary drugs, disposed of them and never got caught. Three years though down here was a long time when you are aware and awake for it all.179Please respect copyright.PENANAckmoKF8zht
179Please respect copyright.PENANAQTf9VewOGW
"So, that's it for the morning announcements. Breakfast is coming I believe and medication." He finishes, the door at the end of the corridor opening right on time. 179Please respect copyright.PENANAVlrb2wU6wZ
179Please respect copyright.PENANAbUTsAg54Oi
"Cloud." Says Solayo, followed by the others. "Morning, Solayo. I debriefed everyone like you asked." Cloud tells him.179Please respect copyright.PENANAaCgXjqwKgs
179Please respect copyright.PENANAigGVL75htC
"Good, good. So eveyone, breakfast, then meds and grab your stuff please and then we are going to process you out into the population. You have stuff to collect you couldn't have down here, we trust you to hold them and behave appopritely."179Please respect copyright.PENANA4VJrbLHEgs
179Please respect copyright.PENANALH4ckS5LeZ
"Yes, Sir." Everyone responds. "Good, good." He adds on, handing out breakfast to everyone, making them stand in a line.179Please respect copyright.PENANARbMjaw4wqa
179Please respect copyright.PENANAv5fLnTDHsl
While they all eat, the leaders prepare their meds. "How you doing?" Solayo smiles, bending down to Paisley even though it's no longer Paisley, a topic that has not been discussed. The girl she is now knows, but rarely talks because what is she meant to say? Lyla and her know they are twins as they look the same, but each feel nothing emotionally.179Please respect copyright.PENANAwGnlMCu771
179Please respect copyright.PENANAFiBvVhNzH7
He holds out her med cup for her to take which contains the least amount of medication than everybody else. Inside is just one single tablet. She gulps it down, followed by a cup of water.179Please respect copyright.PENANAPZUA1C9aBa
179Please respect copyright.PENANAZlYT18fYj9
She opens her mouth afterwards showing him it's clear. "Good girl." He smiles, tapping her knee and stands.179Please respect copyright.PENANAti375IiX80
179Please respect copyright.PENANALeRP77dVmT
Solayo procees to Gideon next. "How we feeling this morning, Gid?" 179Please respect copyright.PENANAcsHmNFbhjE
179Please respect copyright.PENANAlLhuNr15bb
"Uh, fine I guess."179Please respect copyright.PENANAWElAM6xMhI

"Yeah? So, what we goanna do when we get to leave?"179Please respect copyright.PENANAj7lHiX0hx5
179Please respect copyright.PENANAzFUqKHHeyY
"I don't know. Mikey said there would be a job?"179Please respect copyright.PENANACOYYGSi2Z9
179Please respect copyright.PENANA4IEW4RL3bY
"There will be, I don't want you and others to be bored and sitting down here really doesn't feel all that productive, yeah?"179Please respect copyright.PENANAeHDqhjADNg
179Please respect copyright.PENANAS0P2T2wur9
"Yes, Sir."179Please respect copyright.PENANArsuoNX46yD
179Please respect copyright.PENANAwO8BnCuI18
"Your meds." 179Please respect copyright.PENANABc3o9zZDK6
179Please respect copyright.PENANAJc7uul9xBS
And Gideon swallows them down. "Thank you." Solayo says, moving on. Lyla, Slate followed by Cloud and then Beth.179Please respect copyright.PENANAJOdPXKBgNs
179Please respect copyright.PENANAA39QdgO4ig
She perks up a little when she sees Grayson. "Morning, Grayson."179Please respect copyright.PENANAWnobooFJFO
179Please respect copyright.PENANA6o3c74GXbv
"Morning, Beth." Grayson responds. "So, Bethany. Hi, how are we feeling?" Solayo questions.179Please respect copyright.PENANAtRnjzHv5Gl
179Please respect copyright.PENANASWOhWtM2X4
"Better now that you all are here."179Please respect copyright.PENANAb7t32u913u
179Please respect copyright.PENANARq0MHgLd8v
"You like our visits, good, good." Is Solayo's response. Despite the drugs, Beth's mood and fractured time eventally settled a bit for her to be able to go out with Grayson a bit. There was times they all got to leave for medical appointments and stuff, but she got to leave for other things sometime.179Please respect copyright.PENANAobHXXV8Qfx
179Please respect copyright.PENANAel7RXEvvF4
Only small though, sitting with Grayson on his lunchbreak even if it was only in the leaders apartment. No matter what it was, she looked forward to those far and few between events.179Please respect copyright.PENANAq2Rfnt0zrE
179Please respect copyright.PENANAIvsMFPBuK2
"Your meds." Solayo smiles holding her cup out to her which contains the most out of everybody else.179Please respect copyright.PENANAFhWJRtKGkl
179Please respect copyright.PENANA0qx0kPO2Xk
"Do I have to take them?"179Please respect copyright.PENANA46MwrTxGbo
179Please respect copyright.PENANAFGLLe9q2wS
"You do, we've been over this. You know how we explained to you before that your mood was quite, well, it changed rapidly through out the day?"179Please respect copyright.PENANAFF9kxnxXat
179Please respect copyright.PENANAqtdU3Z3eGH
"Yeah."179Please respect copyright.PENANA1npeiq9yqn
179Please respect copyright.PENANAWY6lNfHgY6
"That's why, and sometimes you posed a threat to yourself, saw things and had seizures. We didn't want you to get hurt so that is why you take these meds so that doesn't happen again ever."179Please respect copyright.PENANAFHtNRwjoup
179Please respect copyright.PENANAXlZ5RrgTDt
"I don't remember what you speak of feels like though, it's-"179Please respect copyright.PENANA5u9dc8iov6
179Please respect copyright.PENANAeJTzMbfi3v
"If you're not ready to leave and your companions can't leave either-" He begins. "No, no. I'll take them. I'm sorry, Sir." She panics, downing them.179Please respect copyright.PENANAex0M7vcbWO
179Please respect copyright.PENANAuJqmnGKpIQ
He checks her mouth seeing it's clear. "There we go, wasn't so hard." And stands. Once this is all over with, everyone collects the few clothes and items they have down here, the leaders leading them all to the elevator.179Please respect copyright.PENANAwEyShNUfxq
179Please respect copyright.PENANAy3YEcMNrlv
They enter, no one handcuffed as opposed to when they first came down here. "So, as we have discussed before, it's all going to be very overwhelming, there will be alot of people.179Please respect copyright.PENANA1HKODJYliu
179Please respect copyright.PENANAbBqLEBGnRK
We'll show you your rooms, take today to familarize yourself with everything. The day begins at 6:30 for you all and ends at 7 p.m. Lights out are at 9 and no one is allowed in the hall outside that time.179Please respect copyright.PENANAjTbrkaW5ZT
179Please respect copyright.PENANAXTlXhUficM
Security will be patrolling the halls. The only reasonable excuse to leave is the bathroom or an emergency like a medical emergency or an alarm goes off signalling evacuation.179Please respect copyright.PENANAVlpFhsH43s

We'll meet with you all tomorrow and assign you your jobs."179Please respect copyright.PENANAiWoBULSRFR

"We get to sleep in a bit?" Slate says excitedly. "Yes, you all do." Solayo responds, smiling and he gently ruffles Slate's hair.179Please respect copyright.PENANAMjHGjlAzm0
179Please respect copyright.PENANADLOGX2niG0
The elevator reaches the main floor and they step out, all in awe as they walk along the bridge seeing the farm outside and sunlight streaming in from above.179Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8Snm9mTGN
179Please respect copyright.PENANAVghIgWxXwQ
"This is amazing." Gideon says, mouth open as they walk. They get a general tour. Cafeteria, shower and so on, are given their old tags with their first name on them and their keycards showing their access level. They are lead down a corridor that's a little more private and away from noise.179Please respect copyright.PENANASFFoBEWp6Z
179Please respect copyright.PENANAXX7QXfzNZx
Two doors. "On the left here will be the boys dormitory. Gideon, Cloud and Zekey. Ya'll have a dog you forgot about. His in our apartment so Mikey will be going back to collect him. You take good care of Zekey.179Please respect copyright.PENANAJItSKsKK5z
179Please respect copyright.PENANAwxGbpoimt1
Girls, you're all in the right room." And he opens both for our pair to split up and enter, looking around. "You want to go collect the stupid dog? I'm tired of it peeing around the place."179Please respect copyright.PENANAfcr6Mg7fSY
179Please respect copyright.PENANAJLja4IIpd3
"Solayo, the dog is pretty old by this point. It-" 179Please respect copyright.PENANAogSWxs1GJc

"Mikey, I don't want to hear it. Collect the damn dog." 179Please respect copyright.PENANAfpnLeRkLAE
179Please respect copyright.PENANAO3bpkPA0NX
Ester goes with him to accompany him, Solayo leaves with Cloud to show him his room, a seperate private room all to his self and Grayson remains behind, gesturing for Bethany to come out and see him. 179Please respect copyright.PENANA6e7YAIQQ3r
179Please respect copyright.PENANAqiGg0RTR4p
She slips out while Lyla and Paisley are distracted putting their stuff away. "Hey you." She smiles, pushing Grayson against the wall, hands feeling his toned chest and starts kissing the side of his face, trailing down his neck. "Wow, okay. Thank you, that's nice." He blushes, pushing her away.179Please respect copyright.PENANA31DyM0kznk

You can ask her if she wants you to stick your dick inside her, but while she's taking so many meds? No. Just because she's saying yes, doesn't make it okay. 179Please respect copyright.PENANA3aMALwmqll
