[the determination on Lina's face stays strong, and it's hard not to lean in to match Jen's newfound resolve. things are on the upswing again and something sparks to life inside Lina and she's so thankful for Jen in this moment for reminding her that this shit is not fair and she doesn't have to sit here and take it because she's Lina fucking Geteilt and she is better than this, damn it!]

We're us. We decide who we are and what we do, and they can do as much shit to us as they want because it's never going to change that.

[Lina's voice is sounding more and more confident as she goes on until it reaches a point that she doubts Jen has ever heard, and she's smiling proudly at herself when it does.]

I used to sound like this all the time! Fuck, Jen, what even happened to me? We have to fight back against this. We don't have to just sit here and keep taking this!
