Your freedom didnโt disappear slowly.
It ended the moment I decided it was mine. The fact that you weren't aware of this at the time is entirely immaterial.
You donโt get to leave.
You donโt get to think for yourself.
You donโt even get to want anything that doesnโt serve me.
Your money? Power? Influence? They are all just unnecessary weight upon you. The only real need you have for any of it is to be of better use to me.
You're just a doll with a better battery life.
