Coil turned and swept her up in his arms. Her skin crawled at the contact of her body against his.
Ugh.
She didn’t say or do anything about it, in part because she wasn’t able, too sick, hurting too much. The other reason was because she had seen the numbers shift each time she flinched away from his touch or made her disgust known. Little differences.
Hm, that’s odd. The numbers do seem to already incorporate Dinah’s possible actions like everyone else’s, so is this a side effect of Coil’s power?
He was angrier with her, more curt, if she pulled way, if she complained about it.
Yeah… Classic abusive behavior, training her into not complaining.
There was safety in the numbers, in following the rules she set on herself. It kept her power in order, it ensured Coil was tolerant with her, and it meant she didn’t have to go without her candy for even a short time.
The rules?
