daphne stood at the window, looking out over the city that sprawled beneath her, feeling the hum of power that radiated from the organization that had saved her — & kept her bound. tantalus had given her everything: a roof over her head, training in skills she never could have learned on her own, & most importantly, the protection she’d never known in her early life. there was no more cold, no more living hand-to-mouth on the streets. she had a life now, & it came with privileges. from the luxury apartments to the endless supply of resources, it was more than she could have ever dreamed of when she had been just another orphan. sure, the cost was obedience, but that was a small price to pay for the comfort & stability she now enjoyed. the whispers of freedom that emil kept murmuring to her fell on deaf ears — what could she have out there that she didn’t already have here? she didn’t need his brand of salvation.
turning from the window, daphne met emil’s pleading eyes, her gaze steady & unwavering. ❝you don’t get it, emil, ❞ she said, her voice calm, almost cold. ❝tantalus isn’t just an organization. it's everything i’ve ever wanted. i’ve got food, shelter, training. . . security. you think i’m going to throw that away because you think i should? you talk about freedom like it’s this beautiful thing, but freedom doesn’t come with protection. it doesn’t come with power. it doesn’t come with the safety of knowing i won’t be sleeping on a cold, damp street tomorrow.❞
she stepped closer, her eyes narrowing as she sized him up. ❝i’m not some naive kid who thinks the world owes her anything. i’ve learned the hard way that everything comes with a price. yeah, tantalus has control over me, but what does that matter when i don’t have to look over my shoulder every second? when i’m not scavenging for my next meal? you’re asking me to give that up. for what? a chance to be free, but with nothing to back it up? i’ve been free before, emil. i’ve been free to starve, to struggle, to be ignored. & i’m not going back to that.❞
