Caretaker says something with good intentions, but it hits Whumpee right in the sensitive spot
(Cw: Argument between Whumpee and Caretaker, bad Caretaker, mention of interrogation, intimate/creepy whumper)
-----------------
- "What... on earth happened to you?" To Whumpee who worked so hard to recover before coming back to Caretaker, so they don't notice the difference. All efford for nothing. Caretaker sees at the first sight that Whumpee's still a broken good.
- "Who did this to you?" You did, Caretaker. You just don't remember.
- "Are you sure you're okay with doing it? You can take a break if it's too overwhealming. I know it might be scary" To a Whumpee that has a hard time showing vulnerability. They thought the Caretaker treated them with respect, like an equal. Looks like they were wrong. Caretaker does in fact pity them, patronises them, looks down on them. Whumpee was wrong to trust the Caretaker.
- "I love you" / "I'll always love you/be here for you" after the experiences with an intimate/creepy Whumper. Caretaker unknowingly complements the aspects of Whumpee that Whumper adored as well. Pretty eyes, beautiful lips, soft hair. Caretaker doesn't understand why Whumpee doesn't like these compliments anymore. They used to blush and smile happily in the past.
- (C:) "Do you feel guilty for what happened? No one blames you. No one could possibly stand this type of interrogation for long, even with-" (W:) "Caretaker, just shut up. You aren't helping." (C:) "...I'm... sorry..." Caretaker simply does not know what to say. Reaches their hand, but Whumpee stands up and walks away from them. (W:) "Reminding me of what I've done is the last thing I needed".
