00:00Are you okay?
00:01My premium class service wolf likes to engage in group sex in front of me.
00:05I'm fine!
00:06The premium class service wolf I bought didn't like me.
00:09He only wagged his tail for my adopted sister.
00:12So I brought home a low class stress relief wolf.
00:15I was drunk, sitting outside the bar and smoking to sober up,
00:18when a street vendor crept over.
00:21Miss, you look totally stressed out.
00:22Need to let it all out?
00:23I've got a stress relief wolf good for unwinding.
00:27What?
00:27The dealer glanced around nervously.
00:30A wolf shifter stepped into the light.
00:31He stepped forward, and his shadow fell across my face.
00:34The vendor yanked the rough collar and dragged him down to one knee.
00:37He unclipped the restricted bite guard,
00:39then grabbed the wolf's hair and pulled his head back, exposing his face.
00:43His narrow eyes locked on me like a wild beast.
00:46Look at that face, miss.
00:49Wouldn't it feel good to smack something that pretty?
00:52He was exactly my type.
00:54And my doctor head Tim had said my stress hormones were out of control.
00:58I genuinely needed an outlet.
01:00But I already had a wolf at home.
01:02Ash would mind.
01:03Get up.
01:04Show her your build.
01:05The wolf stood slowly.
01:07He peeled off his shirt.
01:09I saw bruises layered over bruises.
01:12High stamina, heals fast.
01:132,000 for two hours of release.
01:15You can do whatever you want.
01:16Just don't slit his throat and drain his blood and he'll recover.
01:20Slit his throat?
01:22People's tastes had gotten that dark.
01:24Forget it.
01:25My wolf at home wouldn't let me touch him anyway.
01:28This one was cheap.
01:29A cheap, obedient one sounded fine.
01:32How much to buy him outright?
01:33Not cheap.
01:35He's our best.
01:36Name your price.
01:38I'll give you a discount.
01:39Just $58,800.
01:40My parents had spent millions on Ash, my premium service wolf gift.
01:44This one was practically free by comparison.
01:46Too much.
01:47Fine.
01:47Round it down.
01:4850 grand.
01:49In the end, I bought him for $5,000.
01:52I wasn't ready to go home yet, so I took him to a hotel.
01:57The vendor gave me a long list of warnings on the way out.
02:00Don't remove the bike guard until he's fully tamed.
02:02Keep the chains on.
02:03Both of them.
02:04In the hotel suite, Eli stood still in the entryway, eyes down, waiting for whatever came next.
02:09I came out of the shower wrapped in a robe, still not daring to take off his restrictions yet.
02:13Go shower.
02:15He looked at me for a few seconds, then turned and walked into the bathroom.
02:19After a few minutes, I knocked.
02:21I left my phone in there.
02:22He hadn't locked the door.
02:25Eli froze with his back to me.
02:27His pale skin made his scars all the more shocking.
02:30Water streamed down his shoulders and along the rusted chains, washing away rust and dried blood.
02:35His tail hung low, trembling slightly.
02:37The fur was dull and gritty, wild and fragile at the same time.
02:41My brain went offline.
02:42I crossed the room and hugged him from behind, pressing my lips to the bruising on his spine.
02:47Eli shuddered.
02:48His whole body went seared.
02:50What are you doing?
02:51It was the first time I'd heard his voice.
02:55Take it easy.
02:57That's not...
02:57What is that?
02:59That's not how stress relief works.
03:01I've never done this before, bear with me.
03:02I pushed him onto the bed.
03:04I kissed every bruise, one by one.
03:07He lay still and let me continue, his body tense the whole time.
03:11He didn't know how to respond.
03:13Then, at the crucial moment, he reached out and locked his hand around my waist.
03:18Are you sure?
03:20Yeah.
03:22I'm just a low-class wolf.
03:23My answer was to stop waiting.
03:25He let out a muffled sound and closed his eyes.
03:27Ash was my parents' apology.
03:29A premium, competition-grade service wolf.
03:32Compensation for the 18 years they had lost me.
03:34I was five when I disappeared.
03:3623 when they finally found me.
03:37When I came home, I found out my parents had already adopted a little girl named Emma.
03:41She'd been with them since she was a baby.
03:43She was 17 now.
03:45When I appeared, Emma fell apart.
03:47Get out!
03:48I'm their real daughter!
03:49Why are you here taking my parents away?
03:51This is my home!
03:52Get out!
03:53Don't cry!
03:53You'll always be our daughter!
03:55Zoe coming back doesn't change how much we love you!
03:57Emma's been spoiled.
03:59You're six years older.
04:00Just try to be patient with her.
04:02I should have been devastated.
04:04But I was 23.
04:05I had survived those lonely years craving my parents.
04:09Now, I was in the phase of desperately needing money.
04:11I let my eyes well up and look down.
04:14I understand, Dad.
04:16Playing vulnerable worked.
04:18The monthly allowance they wired me kept going up.
04:21Morning.
04:22I had my cheek pressed against Eli's arm when my best friend Lily texted me.
04:26Where are you?
04:27Did you do your usual disappearing act and go home alone again?
04:30No.
04:30I bought a new stress relief wolf last night.
04:32Been busy.
04:35Zoe, what is wrong with you?
04:36I know you're upset that your wolf at home ignores you,
04:38but you can't just go buy a punching bag.
04:42You couldn't bring yourself to hit the expensive one,
04:44so you went out and bought a cheap one to beat up?
04:46I would report you if you weren't my best friend.
04:49I am appalled.
04:50I didn't hit him.
04:51Why would I hit a dog?
04:52Then how did you unwind?
04:54In bed.
04:55The way you're thinking.
04:56We both stopped typing.
04:57Then she sent me a long message explaining everything.
04:59Stress relief wolves were illegal.
05:02Traffickers stole young shifters or bought low-class ones cheap.
05:05Then they tortured and filtered them,
05:08keeping only those with strong bodies and fast healing.
05:11Some became living punching bags for playing clients.
05:14Others ended up in underground fight rooms.
05:17Death matches.
05:18Even after rescue,
05:19these wolves were considered feral and untamable.
05:22Official shelters offered them for free adoption.
05:25The ones no one took were euthanized.
05:27I know where he lives.
05:29If you regret it.
05:30I was startled.
05:31I quickly darkened my screen and turned over.
05:35He runs with a crew.
05:36They probably won't give you the money back.
05:38But if I catch him alone, I might be able to-
05:40I don't regret it.
05:41As long as you behave,
05:43only listen to me.
05:44Nobody else.
05:45Okay?
05:47There were a few faint scars along the edges of his ears.
05:50I couldn't help it.
05:51I reached out to touch them.
05:53His ears snapped back instantly.
05:55He flinched away.
05:56This one wouldn't let me touch his ears.
06:00Sorry.
06:01Force of habit.
06:03You can touch them now if you still want to.
06:05I didn't hesitate.
06:06I swung up and sat across his waist,
06:08braced my hands on his chest,
06:10and squeezed his ears between my fingers.
06:12Eli's breathing deepened.
06:13His whole body got warmer.
06:14He tipped his head back,
06:16eyes half-lished,
06:17watching me.
06:19Can we do it again?
06:22We didn't go straight home.
06:23I took Eli to a shifter clinic first.
06:26The doctor said his healing ability was excellent.
06:28The bruising wasn't a concern,
06:30but the severe malnutrition was.
06:32He needed long-term supplemation.
06:34The total cost of all the supplements
06:35was more than I'd paid for him.
06:37I don't need it.
06:38I can eat anything.
06:39Don't spend the money.
06:40I won't die.
06:41This amount was what Ash burned through
06:43on snacks every month.
06:48It's fine.
06:50Do you like these?
06:51I held out a new collar and bite guard
06:53in front of him.
06:54A slim black metal collar.
06:56A custom black bite guard to match.
06:58I hadn't wanted him to keep wearing restraints,
07:00but the doctor was firm.
07:01Don't let a feral wolf's looks fool you.
07:03He could take out your throat in one bite.
07:05So I'd pick the most comfortable version
07:07I could find.
07:08When the doctor removed the old bite guard,
07:10he held it up to the light.
07:11Bite ring or stress relief?
07:13Before this, I mean.
07:15Both.
07:16Figured, look at these bite marks.
07:17He did this to himself
07:18when the pain got too bad.
07:20Those are from last night.
07:22I went very still.
07:24In the ring?
07:25No.
07:26He looked at my back.
07:27From when I was being used.
07:28We got home past midnight.
07:30Mom and Dad were already asleep.
07:32Ash was probably in Emma's room,
07:34as usual.
07:35Eli?
07:35Come in.
07:37Eli hadn't moved.
07:38He was staring at something on the floor.
07:40I bent down and picked it up.
07:42This is Ash's.
07:42On my first birthday in this house,
07:44Mom and Dad had given me Ash.
07:46It's always too quiet.
07:48We thought having a companion
07:49might open her up.
07:50Back then, Ash hadn't shifted yet.
07:53Just a small black wolf pup.
07:55Why does she get one and I don't?
07:58You said you wouldn't pick favorites.
07:59He's mine!
08:00She snatched the puppy and ran out.
08:02She didn't come back.
08:03My birthday dinner was ruined.
08:05My birthday present was gone.
08:06Mom and Dad were a mess for days.
08:08I cried too.
08:10I'm so sorry I made her leave.
08:12It's my fault.
08:13Twelve days later,
08:14one girl and one scrawny wolf pup
08:16appeared at the front door.
08:17Mom, Dad,
08:18Dad, I'm so hungry.
08:20I was wrong.
08:21I'm never running again.
08:23Mom and Dad rushed out
08:25and all three of them sobbed together
08:27on the doorstep.
08:28When they finally looked up,
08:31Mom's face went guilty
08:32the instant she saw me standing there.
08:34Mom, you hit me.
08:35Do you know what the last 12 days were like?
08:37I just got back and you're...
08:39Do you ever think about
08:39what your sister's last 18 years were like?
08:42If you ever make Zoe feel unwelcome
08:43in this house again,
08:44don't call me Mom.
08:47After that,
08:48Emma stopped coming after me openly.
08:50She gave Ash back a few weeks later.
08:52Not long after that,
08:53he shifted.
08:54Dark curls,
08:55soft,
08:56downturned eyes.
08:57He tilted his head at me
08:58and said his first shifted word.
09:00Hey,
09:01Emma.
09:02You remember me!
09:03Of course.
09:04I remember everything about Emma.
09:05Mom and Dad sighed
09:06and put their arms around me.
09:07It took weeks of trying
09:08before Ash reluctantly accepted
09:10that I was his owner.
09:12But he refused to wag his tail for me.
09:14Refused to let me touch his ears.
09:16Never waited by the door for me.
09:18He only reacted to Emma's footsteps.
09:20He only waited for her.
09:22I watched them every time.
09:25I told myself I didn't really care
09:26because Ash's monthly expenses
09:28came out of the account in my name
09:29and Mom and Dad's quiet guilt
09:31kept filling that same account.
09:32But lately,
09:33I've been breaking out from stress.
09:35The doctor said my hormones
09:36were all over the place.
09:38Ash wouldn't touch me.
09:40Eli had shown up
09:40at exactly the right moment.
09:42I had no reason to say no.
09:43Sleep with me tonight.
09:44I'll take you shopping for clothes.
09:45Will he mind?
09:46Who?
09:47Ash.
09:48Wolves are territorial.
09:49He doesn't like sleeping with me.
09:50It's fine.
09:51Do you need it again tonight?
09:53Need what?
09:54Stress relief.
09:56I do,
09:57but my legs are killing me.
09:58I have good stamina.
09:59You can just lie there.
10:01That's very considerate of you.
10:02It's nothing.
10:03In the morning,
10:04I stepped out of my room
10:05at the exact same time as Ash.
10:07Zoe,
10:08why were you talking in your sleep last night?
10:09All those little sounds.
10:10It was loud.
10:12Sorry.
10:12I'll keep it down.
10:14Were you having a nightmare?
10:15I thought I heard you crying.
10:18I was having the time of my life.
10:23I was having the time of my life.
10:25If you ever have a nightmare,
10:26you can...
10:30Ash,
10:32how did your slippers end up in the living room
10:33if you were in your room?
10:34Because you carried me to bed last night
10:35and forgot to bring them.
10:37He sat her on his knee,
10:38found the bunny slippers,
10:39and put them on her feet one by one.
10:42Patient.
10:43Then he headed upstairs to the bathroom.
10:46Perfect service, Wolf.
10:47Just not mine.
10:48Zoe,
10:49my laundry's in the hamper.
10:50Take it to the dry cleaner.
10:53What's that smell?
10:54What?
10:55He stepped close,
10:56pressed his nose to my neck,
10:57then inhaled.
10:58The deeper he breathed,
10:59the harder his hand gripped my waist.
11:02Zoe,
11:03why do you smell like another wolf?
11:05Eli had just opened the door and walked out.
11:07He was half a head taller than Ash.
11:09That's my scent.
11:12Zoe,
11:12who is that?
11:13His name is Eli.
11:15He's my new wolf.
11:18What?
11:18You got another wolf?
11:19What about me?
11:20Oh, wow.
11:21Mom,
11:21Dad,
11:22come look.
11:23Zoe got a new wolf.
11:24This is Eli,
11:25our newest family member.
11:26Sir.
11:27Ma'am.
11:29He's even more handsome than Ash.
11:31Competition grade,
11:32I assume.
11:32Zoe gets so much allowance.
11:34Competition grade?
11:35He's wearing a muzzle.
11:36His fur is splitting.
11:38His shirt is falling apart.
11:39He's shedding everywhere.
11:40He's feral bottom class,
11:42the kind shelters can't even give away.
11:43Zoe,
11:44you only brought him home to mess with me,
11:46didn't you?
11:47If he goes feral and hurts you,
11:49don't come crying to me.
11:51Zoe,
11:52we're not against you keeping him.
11:54We just want you safe.
11:56We can't lose you again.
11:59I won't hurt her.
12:01If it makes you feel better,
12:02I'll keep the restraints on.
12:03I can sleep in a crate at night.
12:06Only fight ring wolves sleep in crates.
12:08That's lower than a stress relief slave.
12:10I've already decided.
12:12He stays.
12:13Ash's expenses come from Mom and Dad.
12:15Eli's are on me.
12:16Zoe.
12:17Relax.
12:18Given how Zoe grew up,
12:19it makes sense she has a thing for low-class wolves.
12:22It's basically her aesthetic.
12:25Mom,
12:25Dad,
12:26since Zoe has a new wolf,
12:27can I have Ash?
12:28He likes me more anyway.
12:29I'm just taking what's left over.
12:31Left over.
12:31The words drained the color from Ash's face.
12:34No.
12:35Ash was a gift from Mom and Dad.
12:37He's mine.
12:38I decide what happens to him.
12:40I had no intention of giving him away.
12:42Not because I was attached.
12:44First,
12:44the budget they gave me for his upkeep was generous.
12:47I pocketed a healthy margin every month.
12:50Second,
12:50Ash was worth a lot.
12:51If I ever decided I was done,
12:53I could sell him for seven figures.
12:56Why would I hand that to Emma for free?
12:58She's right.
12:59He was given to Zoe.
13:00If you want him,
13:01talk to your sister.
13:06A few months earlier,
13:07Mom and Dad had planned a seven-day family camping trip
13:10to get us all to bond.
13:11On the night we set up tents,
13:13everyone drank a little too much.
13:15Emma called me sis every five minutes.
13:17I called her sis back.
13:19Mom and Dad were so happy.
13:21When I came back from a cigarette break,
13:23I saw Emma in my tent.
13:24The campfire had gone out.
13:26One small lantern flickered inside.
13:28Ash was lying on my sleeping bag.
13:30Emma was slowly crawling on top of him,
13:32leaning toward his mouth.
13:33Their shadows overlapped against the canvas.
13:36I watched Ash reach up,
13:37tuck her hair behind her ear,
13:39and kiss her back.
13:40Ash,
13:41promise me you won't touch her.
13:43But-
13:43Wait until I'm 18.
13:45It's only a few months.
13:46In this world,
13:47a wolf who slept with a human under 18
13:49faced immediate disposal.
13:51You know I have standards.
13:53I don't like her touching you.
13:55Can't we just keep this clean between us?
13:58Ash said yes.
14:00The video ended.
14:02Emma, is this how I raised you?
14:03Using yourself to manipulate a wolf
14:05just to spice your sister?
14:07Zoe, I was drunk that night.
14:08I thought it was you coming.
14:09Nobody asked you.
14:10I paid for you.
14:12You're here to serve my daughter,
14:13not audition replacements.
14:15I'm calling your cellar today.
14:16You-
14:17Mom, why aren't you yelling at her?
14:19Can't you see how calculating she is?
14:21She recorded it.
14:22I made one stupid mistake,
14:24and she plays it like this.
14:25Ever since she came back,
14:27you love me less.
14:28Are you really gonna let her run my life?
14:31Emma, you did this.
14:33If you hadn't,
14:33there'd be nothing to record.
14:35Both of your allowances this month go to Zoe,
14:37and you're both grounded for three days.
14:38A large sum landed in my account that afternoon.
14:41Mom and Dad's invisible scale
14:43tipped a little more in my direction.
14:44I'd been fighting for things my whole life.
14:48This was no different.
14:49Three days without Emma or Ash hovering around,
14:52I took Eli shopping Uprant everywhere.
14:54He was a specimen,
14:56built like every suit had been cut for him specifically.
14:58Everything looked good on him,
15:00so I wanted to buy him everything.
15:01But the best part was watching him in a dress suit.
15:05I went slightly feral and bought 12 custom-tailored ones.
15:09Then I was too tired to walk.
15:12Eli carried everything with one arm and me with the other.
15:15I had my arm hooked around his neck,
15:17tracing the line of his nose with one finger.
15:20Eli, looking like this,
15:21didn't they try to make you sell yourself?
15:23They tried.
15:24He set me on the bed and dropped to one knee.
15:27He took off my heels and swapped them out for slippers.
15:30He'd watched Ash do it for Emma a hundred times.
15:33He hadn't fully adjusted to human-scale gentleness yet.
15:36He kept catching himself, recalibrating his grip.
15:39But he'd memorized every step.
15:41And he went a little pink.
15:43I didn't.
15:44I hurt the client and ran.
15:45They caught me.
15:46I stopped eating to fight back.
15:49They got scared I'd die and cost them money.
15:52So they threw me into the ring.
15:54I hadn't eaten three days.
15:56I don't know how I did it.
16:00I bit through the other wolf's throat.
16:02I stayed in the ring.
16:03They kept my food limited so I'd be too weak to resist.
16:06In the last fight, I got badly injured.
16:09They figured I was done.
16:10So they put me on stress relief work.
16:12I survived that too.
16:14This week, they were debating sending me back to the ring.
16:17Then you bought me.
16:18Eli was still kneeling, wearing the new suit I'd just bought him.
16:21Both hands wrapped lightly around mine.
16:24He had no idea he looked like he was proposing.
16:26I don't know how hard to hold you without hurting you.
16:30Last night, when you cried, I panicked.
16:34I'm not hiding anything from you.
16:36I am a low-class, violent wolf.
16:38I've hurt humans.
16:39I've hurt my own kind.
16:40I grew up without learning how to be around people.
16:43I don't know how to take care of someone.
16:45I barely know how to use a fork.
16:46I remembered.
16:48The second time had gone well.
16:50Much better than the first.
16:53Then I lost control and made sounds I didn't even know I could make.
16:57I'm sorry.
16:58Did I hurt you?
16:59I misjudged my strength.
17:01It was my fault.
17:02You can punish me, hit me, starve me.
17:04Do whatever you want.
17:04Just don't cry, please.
17:06I remembered the apology going on for a while.
17:09But I'd passed out mid-sentence.
17:11No wonder the atmosphere that morning had been so heavy.
17:14He'd been stewing in it all night.
17:15You didn't hurt me.
17:16I cried because it was good.
17:18He pressed his nose against my neck.
17:19His silver-white ears brushed my face.
17:22I grabbed them.
17:22Eli's breathing hitted.
17:24He reached up, fingers calloused and deliberate, and slowly traced the side of my neck.
17:28The same spot Ash had pressed his nose against that morning.
17:31Methodical.
17:32Inch by inch.
17:33Are you trying to cover his scent?
17:35It's fine.
17:35I don't mind.
17:36I just don't understand.
17:38You went three days without food to avoid being sold, but you never fought back against me.
17:42Not once.
17:43You gave up?
17:44He looked up.
17:45His eyes didn't quite meet mine.
17:47They landed on my mouth.
17:48Maybe because you were young and beautiful.
17:50That's an airtight reason.
17:52Maybe because you said you had no experience.
17:53Also because that was the first time I'd ever been kissed.
17:56I just want you to know I am violent and feral, but I will never hurt you.
18:01Never.
18:02I believe you.
18:03Not ever.
18:05As a reward, let me kiss you again.
18:07Eli and I fell into a rhythm.
18:08I finally understood why people spent fortunes on wolves.
18:12With Ash, everything had been a production.
18:14Premium wolves had standards.
18:16I'd had to train with him daily, manage his nutrition, force feed him supplements, and run
18:20a full grooming routine just to keep him in condition, so he could use that condition
18:23to take care of Emma.
18:24Eli was different.
18:26I followed the doctor's supplement plan, and he just glowed.
18:29I felt a little guilty about the contrast, so I sat him down and did a proper grooming
18:33session on him.
18:34Ash walked in while I had both hands buried in Eli's foam-covered ears.
18:37Zoe, that's my special foam soap.
18:39I bought this one for Eli.
18:43Out of your room already.
18:45You must be so pleased with yourself.
18:47Not really.
18:48You got off easy, but I'll try harder next time.
18:51Zoe, send him out.
18:52I can explain the video.
18:53But I am not sharing this house with a bottom-class wolf.
18:56You're not sharing anything.
18:57You sleep in Emma's room.
18:58You always have.
18:59Wolves had sharp senses.
19:01Ash had been the only one in the house who knew about my smoking habit.
19:05He'd always complained my room smelled and used it as an excuse to sleep in Emma's room
19:09instead.
19:10It's fine, Ash.
19:11You always said she smelled anyway.
19:13Come stay with me.
19:15Zoe, you're going to regret this.
19:18Take good care of him, won't you, Emma?
19:20The house settled into a strange cold war.
19:23Ash and Emma spent a while putting on a show in front of me.
19:26They were all warmth and sweetness, trying to get a reaction out of me.
19:30I had none.
19:31As long as they weren't doing it in my face, I could handle it.
19:35Eli spent a lot of time watching them.
19:37Emma kept flushing every time she caught him looking.
19:39Then pretending she hadn't noticed he was studying.
19:42He watched every move Ash made with Emma.
19:45The grip.
19:46The order of things.
19:47And he translated it all into how he took care of me.
19:50Ash, meanwhile, looked like a ghost.
19:52He kept catching himself staring at me with something half-formed in his expression.
19:56I knew why.
19:56A few days earlier, I'd heard an argument spilling from Emma's room.
20:02Emma, you haven't groomed me in forever.
20:04You have hands.
20:04Do it yourself.
20:06Am I your pet or are you mine?
20:07My products are running out too.
20:09Then ask Zoe.
20:10It's her account, not mine.
20:12Emma, why are you like this?
20:15You used to actually like spending time with me.
20:17If you hadn't kissed me that night, Zoe wouldn't have...
20:19Zoe always groomed you every day.
20:21She never complained about how much work it was.
20:25Blame me?
20:26You didn't exactly stop me.
20:28And now you think she's better?
20:30Then go to her!
20:31Go on!
20:32See if she even wants you!
20:34Did Emma love Ash?
20:36I doubted it.
20:37Emma just loved being the center.
20:39The one everyone orbited.
20:40Ash fawning over her had suited her perfectly.
20:43My existence, Ash complicated that.
20:45After that fight, Ash starting sentences near me and never finishing them.
20:49Too proud to ask.
20:50I ignored it until one night.
20:52I was out on the second floor balcony in my slip dress, smoking a post-session cigarette.
20:57Ash came up behind me and wrapped his arms around me without a word.
21:00Warm tears dropped onto my neck, one at a time.
21:03You're not complaining about the smell?
21:06I'm sorry.
21:07Can you forgive me?
21:09I was drunk that night.
21:10I swear I thought it was you.
21:12I wanted it to be you.
21:13I believe you.
21:14If you'd known it was Emma, you wouldn't have stopped her either.
21:19That's not true.
21:20Before I shifted, Emma and I were on the streets together.
21:23A group of guys tried to grab me.
21:25They cornered me and tried to drag me away.
21:28She ran at them, screaming and crying until they gave up and fled.
21:32You're my owner, but she saved my life.
21:35I couldn't refuse her.
21:36In the tent that night, I was half asleep.
21:38I thought it was you.
21:39When I opened my eyes and saw her, I felt sick.
21:41I realized I'd wanted it to be you.
21:44I'd wanted you all along.
21:45But she saved my life.
21:47How could I turn her down and still keep being grateful to her?
21:50I was never in the way.
21:53Zoe, please don't.
21:55Ash, do you know why I smoke?
21:57Because I grew up with a crew of street girls who were never going to win any etiquette awards.
22:01When I got caught stealing and got beaten up, they took the hits with me.
22:05When a man tried to assault me, they scratched his face apart.
22:09When I had a fever and passed out, they pulled whatever they had and dragged me to a back alley
22:14clinic.
