Whumpee who is so, so casual about whumpy things.
Who understands that they're supposed to bow their head when demeaned and humiliated but doesn't feel upset.
Who knows, logically, that they're being deprived of basic needs, but feels like they can manage alright without.
Who flinches in anticipation of pain and then sighs, exasperated, at their own reaction- they should be used to it by now.
Who keeps living, perhaps even keeps smiling, in a way entirely incongruous with their situation.
