I been thinking. I thought it was cool how the Enclosure got programmed the way it did for Bucky's party, so I was wondering if I could do that, too-- not for a party, but for a fireworks show. I don't know if any of the people here have ever been to one, but where I come from, they're real popular in the summer. You go to a big empty field at night, sit on blankets, and just... watch. Maybe bring out a keg of beer or something, I don't know. You think the Enclosure could do that?

I wanted to do it on my birthday, if things are all calmed down. Sometimes these shows can get crazy and loud with people dancing and partying, but I know I ain't in a raucous mood, and I bet I'm not the only one. So maybe a quiet one would be good right now. Something relaxing.

It'd be nice, I think.

Merlin's better. He-- it's real complicated, but he didn't mean that stuff he said. I know that nothing was making him say it, but he had those parasites in him that had him thinking it was the best thing to do, and... he regrets it. He changed his mind.

[She sounds relieved, if just a tiny bit wary. She wasn't affected by the Sha herself, and she still isn't 100% clear on what exactly it was or how it worked-- so while she's ever-trusting and wants to give her warden the benefit of the doubt, it's going to take her a week or so of him being normal for her to fully believe that he really is staying, and he really does want her as his inmate.]

I ain't mad at him. Y'all don't have to be either.

[Mason and Simon, she's looking at you.]

Hi.

He didn't say that. He said you did good.

Well, sometimes a good dose of bitch is exactly what someone needs.

I guess so.

Don't be a bitch to him now, okay?

Only if I have to be. Promise.

You know, I have found I have to be a lot less here than I did before.

Yeah? That's good. Means people listen to you without you having to put your foot up their ass.

You had to do that a lot? So did I.

[No you didn't, Tiffany.]

People here are just nicer. You don't got to assert yourself so much to keep them from walking all over you. Barely anyone tries to walk on me at all.

[Letty does not believe that for a moment; she does, however, believe that maybe she wanted to and didn't know how.

So she just raises her eyebrows instead.]

I mean, you saw what happened when someone hurt your feelings here. [I r i s.]

Which part? What do you mean?

Before we knew what was up with Merlin.

I know, but... what did you mean? What happens when somebody hurts my feelings? I get sad?

[Well, that or the weapons come out. It's kind of a toss-up, really.]

Yeah, and then half a dozen people get super pissed off.

... Oh.

You ain't mad at them, right? I know Iris hit him, but she had the thing in her too.

Why are you so worried about who I'm mad at?

I'm not worried, I'm just wondering.

And one of the people threatening and stuff was an inmate, and I don't want him going to Zero for saying that about a warden.

Jesus, who's a big enough bag of dicks to throw anyone in zero for being pissed off on behalf of their friends?

Where I come from, if you threaten a guard you get sent down to solitary. And if you hit a guard, you get sent to max forever.

I was worried Iris would get demoted, too. I'm glad she wasn't.

I keep forgetting that technically I'm a prison guard now. My crew would flip.

Why, would they think you should be an inmate?

They would think I shouldn't be here at all.

Why? it ain't like you're being forced.

No, I'm not, but it would almost be better if I were. Then they could be mad, there'd be something to save me from.

This? This is just me ending up on the wrong side because it's the only way to get things done.

Okay, but I don't get why it's the wrong side.

Because no one in my neighborhood is supposed to talk to cops.

Prison guards are on that same side. They're the enemy.

I get that.

[It was kind of like that where she came from, though not nearly as much as in urban areas. And it was definitely like that in prison, most of the time.]

But this place is different. Y'all aren't regular guards.
