Adora drops from kneeling to actually sit on the ground, pulling her legs to her chest and curling in on herself. ] I was her favorite as long as I obeyed her. I was her favorite as long as I did everything I was told. As long as I was perfect and everything she wanted me to be down to how I wore my hair.
