it is very easy to accept the fact you're a property.
not just in the romantic meaning of "the one who you belong to" - though, of course, love remains a necessary aspect of such a relationship.
it doesn't require any effort to claim you're a thing.
it does take much time to get used to it, though. to remember it every second, every moment of your life. not being allowed to smile. not being allowed to have friends or lovers. not being allowed to argue on any point.
but after some training it just comes naturally, like breathing.
it is difficult to return to freedom afterwards.
to be forced to make decisions of your own after having had no right to have opinions of your own.
to be a master instead of being a slave, even if the actual emplacement does not change.
don't be hard on me, Ritsuka. i still have lots of things to accomplish.
