"The whole reason I am mad to be a slave is that there people burning in Hell and it is my job to fix it.

And you are too educated to believe it and so you will let them all burn so the person you see as child is doing child things and make you feel good about yourself.

If I did not care about anything, then why would it make me sad to be a slave."

The nurse puts down 'never'.

"Always."

"Right now I want that. When talking with Emily and Claudette how educated people think babies do not have souls and Christians kind of suck and not cool, I want that. No other times."

It takes Evelyn a couple of seconds to figure out what Iomedae is even confused about.

 

....Ohhhhhh. 

"...It doesn't mean, were you angry at something where throwing something would help, it means - you remember when Lily was very upset, and knocked a lot of things down in the kitchen? Sometimes that happens to teenagers too, or - they don't actually knock things down, because they know it would make a mess and wouldn't help, but they sort of want to throw things anyway because then everyone would see how upset they were. I don't know if you ever feel that way, but it's a bit like being so angry you want to shout things at someone even if shouting wouldn't help."

" - sometimes I am angry enough that even knowing it is dangerous and unwise for a slave to speak at all I speak. But I am learning. I do it less than when I was new."

"That's actually our next question," says the nurse stubbornly. "How often you have gotten so angry you felt like yelling at someone."

Permalink

" - almost always."

Permalink

"How often have you felt fed up?"

Permalink

Fed? "...always? When I was free I could feed my self and here Evelyn feed me."

Permalink

"No, fed up, like, exasperated, or frustrated, or like you have run out of patience."

Permalink

"Almost always."

Permalink

"How often have you felt upset?"

Why are they just asking the same thing different ways - actually, that is reasonable given how often she is misunderstanding what they're asking. "Almost always."

Permalink

"How often have you felt like something awful might happen."

Permalink

" - awful things is happening."

Permalink

"So, almost always?"

Permalink

"If it is happening, you say it might happen?"
