Welcome to Tendi's inbox! If I don't answer immediately, it's probably because I've got my hands full with something toxic, corrosive, or chemically unstable! Or bleeding. Or all of the above! I'll get back to you as soon as I can, byyyye!

I like that way of looking at it. [Their own choices had brought them here as an inmate, but it would have been easier for them to make different choices if their circumstances had been different. They had driven their victims to self-blame because it worked, not because they really believed all of them were entirely at fault for their problems.]

It's served me well so far. I've never been an inmate here, and I hope I never will be - [Because if she gets demoted, something's gone terribly wrong] - but that doesn't mean I can't relate.

You seem to be good at finding ways to relate to people, even if your experiences are different. [They have more trouble with it, but they can usually do it eventually.]

I guess? I just... really like people. [She hasn't really considered it a skill when it just comes naturally.]

[chaos_drifter]

That comes naturally to some people, but not everyone. [They tried to use their file to relate to Zakalwe, but they think they should have waited longer.] I like learning about people, though.

[notthatkindoforion]

Yeah, I guess your right. Everyone's got to figure out a way to relate to and understand others that works for them.

[And she supposes some people are always going to have a much, much smaller group of people they care to put time and emotional energy into than she has.]
