#* compulsive lying.

dory is a really good liar because she lets herself believe in the lies she’s telling. this is really handy for denying her involvement in two different murders and maintaining her sense of victimhood, but it’s also constantly at war with her vanity/her ego. there’s a part of dory that wants to take credit for being a mastermind, which would force her to consider the fact that her truth and the truth are two different things. i think at some point her desire to validate being good at something will win out since she can’t stand feeling useless, probably when the media attention dries up, and that’s when the guilt will really start to roll in.
