Hmm…Snow Flower’s last line there just put this song in my mind:
However…it looks like Laura has misread her situation…it looks like even Snow Flower can only take so much even under all of the programming.
Linktacular!
Back Office
In a Call-Center…no one can hear you scream…
Hmmm, is it just me, or does it seem like Laura is deliberately trying to make sure that she completely shreds any sympathy we might have for her?
@Kessy: I’m not sure it is deliberate. Laura doesn’t appear to have a problem with reprogramming people to love her, she might not understand what taking Snow-Flower for granted would do to her.
I meant it as a rhetorical question – I know Laura is a Socially Awkward Villain. (Heh, that ought to be a meme.) She does seem to have a talent for doing something just plain horrible whenever there’s any danger of the audience developing sympathy for her, though.
Like MJ said: “Don’t go ’round breakin’ young girls’ hearts.”
@Kessy: I find “Socially Awkward Hero” on the Devil’s Site (TVTropes), but nothing like that for villains.
