Grace showing Simon and Rocky the story of Orpheus & Eurydice, and Simon catching on quickly that the challenge was set up to fail from the beginning, bc no lover would ever not turn around.

Meanwhile, Rocky: Human story boringggg. Rocky would simply not Look. Rocky Can't look. Rocky have no eyes.

alittlebitofwhump

Whumper forces Whumpee to make a list of all the things they did wrong so they can be punished for it. Whumpee is supposed to hand it to Whumper at the end of every day. If Whumper feels like Whumpee missed something important, they will get double punished. Sometimes Whumper gets mad when Whumpee didn't include the smallest of things.

"remember when you didn't make eye contact with me when I walked in the room this morning? Why isn't that on here?"

Whumpee apologizes and gets beaten twice as hard. Eventually they end up in a perpetual state of analyzing their own behavior for mistakes.

Even worse, sometimes Whumper gets mad at them for things they didn't even do. If Whumpee insists it never happened they'll get punished both for the thing and for "lying".

Whumpee gets so paranoid that they end up writing things down that Whumper probably would never know otherwise, giving Whumper so many more reasons to punish them.

One day Whumper gets mad at Whumpee because Whumpee didn't put "having angry thoughts about Whumper" on the list. Whumper convinces Whumpee they know what they are thinking and that there is no point in trying to hide it.

Whumpee ends up conditioned to write down the "bad" thoughts they have, to be punished for them. They now aren't only desperately analyzing everything they do, but also everything they think. Whumper now officially has control over Whumpee in their own head.

When Whumpee is rescued, the conditioning doesn't go away. On the first day back home they meekly come to caretaker with a list of everything they did wrong, waiting for Caretaker to punish them. Caretaker is horrified by everything that's on there.

If I may add

Paper and pen being the only thing Whumpee is allowed to have.

At the start of the month, Whumper hands Whumpee a stack of papers. 31 to be exact. And a pen.

Whumpee learns very quickly not to waste paper, as they are punished for every piece of paper they have to beg for as replacement for the mistakes. Whumpee's handwriting getting worse and worse while being smaller and smaller. Hoping to fit all their misdeeds on a single sheet of paper. As there becomes more and more they need to list. Toeing the line between indecipherable nonsense and legible letters. Learning to not press too hard in order to avoid tearing the page. And dreading each misspelled word or scribbled out sentence.

Being so, so grateful for the months that have less than 31, as then they have one extra just in case. Problem is they never know what month it is anymore... But being able to use the sheets as a calendar of sorts. And keeping track of how much ink is in the pen before it needs to be replaced and paid for in blood.

And then finally being rescued and waiting to be handed paper and pen. The sheer panic of not having it. Imagine a mute Whumpee trying to communicate to caretaker for something to write. And caretaker happily bringing it, thinking Whumpee wants to tell them something important.

Only for Whumpee to make a new list of all the mistakes they've already made in their new home. And the immediate confusion and horror from both of them for very different reasons.
