• "Never have they successfully shrunken a skull and they're definitely not a vengeful person." - Sterling

• "Funny for a 'data analyst'. One of the good ones, I think." - Rusev

• "When he got wind of my plan, he kinda snuck up and gave me some handling instructions on the DL - and was very keen that I not tell her he said anything. It's that second part that says more, perhaps." - Spider

• "I hope I can be of some assistance in her ongoing development. She has come so far already." - Friedrich Sternenlicht
• "Trying to convince her of her potential is a harder task than exorcising any daemon I've faced, and infinitely more worthwhile - because when she believes in the difference that it is apparent to seemingly everyone else that she can make to the galaxy & to those who matter to her... Stacy will shine brighter than a star." - Archbishop Stenberg
• "I wish that...if I'm to accept compliments about me are true, that she would too about herself. Because she's amazing." - Artemisia Minerva Tabbris Blair

• "They sent her out here to go through this. For what? To better herself, or just to get her out of the way? The hell with them." - Mac
• "What was lost can never be regained but at least you had something for a moment." - Maximillion
• "I want to be of help- not sure I have the capacity anymore- crucibles are never fun, but I would like you to be empowered rather than the alternative." - Friedrich Sternenlicht

Inspirations:

• Mavrus the Unschooled from Not Another D&D Podcast

• Cher Horowitz from Clueless

Soundtrack:

• All Your Gold - Bat for Lashes (And today I was a dead girl walking / City light burnt through the tears / Heard you say my name and get to talking / About the love and all the fear / And you saw all the pain I was holding / And yet still you hold me near)
• Anti-Hero - Taylor Swift (It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me / At tea time, everybody agrees / I'll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror / It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero)
• Bruises - Renée Rapp (All my friends make sweet fun of me / I guess it's funny but the truth's I bruise easily / And sure, I'm down to be the joke / Metaphorically though / You could flip me inside out and they would show / Black, purple, and green / Yeah, I bruise easily)
• Harshest Critic - Allison Ponthier (What if all my fears were on display / Right in front of the world, under the spotlight? / Would they still be on my side?)
• Hot Mess - Adelaine Morin (I can't understand it / Hope this don't cause damage / If I can be honest / I am really just a hot mess / It's not you I promise / Don't mean to be heartless / Know it sounds obnoxious / But I'm going through my process / Nobody is flawless)
• I Can Do It with a Broken Heart - Taylor Swift ('Cause I'm a real tough kid, I can handle my shit / They said, "Babe, you gotta fake it 'til you make it" and I did / Lights, camera, bitch smile, in stilettos for miles / He said he'd love me for all time / But that time was quite short / Breaking down, I hit the floor / All the pieces of me shattered as the crowd was chanting, "More" / I was grinning like I'm winning, I was hitting my marks / 'Cause I can do it with a broken heart)
• I'm Not Your Hero - Tegan & Sara (Sometimes it feels like the side that I'm on / Plays the toughest hand, holds the longest stand / Sometimes it feels like I'm all that they've got / It's so hard to know I'm not what they want)
• Light on - Maggie Rogers (Oh, I couldn't stop it / Tried to figure it out / But everything kept moving / And the noise got too loud / With everyone around me saying / "You should be so happy now")
• Roma Fade - Andrew Bird (You need a witness just to know you're there / From the tips of your fingers, every strand of hair, yeah / You know someone's watching you, watching me, watching you / And all that we look upon / You may not know me but you feel my stare / And if she sees you, it changes you / Rearranges your molecules / And if you see her, it changes her / She's a danger now, after school)
• Someone Gets Hurt - Renee Rapp (Feel my heart beating? / I'm just like her or you / People forget I'm human too / Yes, they do that / This is performance / This is all self-defense / I thought you had the sense / To see through that)
