What's astounding to me is that out of everyone there, only one other person stood up to her."
Stopping dead in her track, Maea spun to face Astaroth. A scowl darkened her brow and it was clear she was not interested in apologizing anymore. "It is weak," she insisted, teeth flashing with every word. "It's cowardly and weak, and I'm not doing it. I'm done lowering myself just to survive - no matter what anyone says this life is not so fucking precious that it's worth that. Not to me. Not anymore. I won't live in a cage at the sufferance of another. If everyone else is fine with being trampled on, so be it - good riddance. I'm going to fight them every step of the way, even if I have to do it alone."
