[never thought she'd feel bad for him... using her power is taking it's toll on her, and she pulls out the small kodachi she'd been using to make a small cut along her upper arm]
A freak of nature? Because of your age?
[walks around back in front of him, and sits back down in the chair, staring off to the side]
...It must be hard, Cassian-kun, living a life like that. I would be angry, too, if I were you.
Do you think that makes it okay? What you did to Mamimi?
...Cassian-kun, it would be easy for Mamimi to say you're evil. I could make you do whatever I want.
I could make you cut it off and never use it again. I could make you remove your clothes and sleep in that dumpster for the night. You deserve it for what you did. I never even told anyone.
But...Cassian-kun... You can't lie to me right now, either. You have a bit of a conscience, don't you? You're just angry. You don't know what else to do to get what you want.
[slides off of the chair to crouch in front of him, stubbing the cigarette out on the ground. She grins, a dark glint in her eye]
...Mamimi understands, ne? We're different, but we're the same. The world doesn't understand... It doesn't like people who are different.

Cassian-kun, you made Mamimi-chan wait. That's rude. Get on your knees and beg Queen Mamimi for forgiveness.

Please forgive me.

WHO do you want to forgive you?

... You.

Are you really 35-years-old, Cassian-kun? Did you enjoy what you did to poor Queen Mamimi?
Answer me.

[grits his teeth, hard.]
I am.
Not really.

That's strange, to go through all that effort to hurt someone...and you didn't enjoy it? Is it because of guilt? Mamimi wonders.
Why didn't you enjoy it?

That stupid woman, who said she loved me even when I was like this-
[this is the most private story, never told]
And she just goddamn lied to me, she was the ringmaster's woman- Just so they could laugh at me if I believed her-

...She's who you were talking about? How mean, comparing me to someone like that.
Why did she do that to you, Cassian-kun?

Because it was funny-
because I'm a freak of nature whose parents sold him to a goddamned circus-

We got punished without doing anything wrong.
