Ok so imagine a living weapon who got rescued by a team and got out of the brainwash. BUT the team has to go incognito inside a living weapon auction to save the other whumpees, so ex-LW pretend to still be one for the mission's sake.
●the team seeing the staff no giving a fuck about ex-LW comfort and treating them like an object or telling the team they "could get a good price out of that one"
● the staff asking ex-LW questions about the 'training' they got and them having to recall painfull memories while unable to show emotion (and the team being horrified)
●ex-LW seeing old handler/whumper
●Being afraid things will go wrong and they will lost everything again
● bumping into another living weapon who was trained with them or who fought side by side with them and they recognized each other but can't talk
● and living weapon is sad because they thought their friend was able to escape but is apparently still prisoner. At least their new handlers don't look too cruel ?
●or they can talk breafly buy ex-LW can't blow the team's cover so they just lie
●and when the team is able to save the whumpees ex-LW has to reassure the others that they are actually nice or new handlers, and won't hurt them, but know years of brainwashing can't be erased so quickly...
