#damn we’re all in our own birdcage huh

[goosewizard]

thinking about best girl in the world nanami kiryuu and the horror of adoring an older male figure in your life and then coming of age and finding out they expected something from you. thinking about her looking back and wondering if it was all in preparation. if any of it was real. thinking about how empty the love she surrounds herself with is. how she adores and adores and expects to be adored in return but it’s all empty. none of it is love. thinking about how she realizes that this is it, this is all that’s for her at ohtori academy. that she’s supposed to be docile and accepting and a pretty face to swoon over and be used by the men (even her brother). thinking about how she sees anthy and akio and she’s so scared. she’s pissed and tired and so terrified. because that could’ve been her. thinking about how she’s never been afforded real comfort, so all she can do is put up walls and live in an empty fortress. thinking about how she’s been raised as a calf to slaughter. thinking about her.
