interrogation is bound to lead to defensive behavior, though this is likely not at all what was expected of the girl. how many people can out their father as an abusive piece of shit before september admits the same? some people have used the term stolkholm syndrome to describe the girls relationship to the man, and while it isn’t an inaccurate description september refuses to listen to anyone who dares bring it up. the pair usually don’t stay anywhere long, robert usually gets caught doing something pretty quickly and they’re forced to flee. but the fleeing didn’t happen quick enough this time, the man locked in chains until september can either talk him out of it or pay for a hefty bribe. but a good bribe would take days to earn, hours upon hours of selling their body beyond their limits for cash that may not make a difference. they would do it, of course they would, but they want to try to be convincing first.  ❝ he didn’t do the things they’re sayin’ he did. ❞   how many witnesses were enough for him to go down? how much proof did they need? no one would listen to the alleged victim, not when their father is so clearly a horrid man and they are so clearly a well manipulated child. not when the bruising on their face is still fresh.  ❝ if you’re lookin’ for me to condemn him y’can leave. ❞
