Cozy Glow had always been a piece in someone else’s game. All she wanted was to be loved and appreciated, yet the only reward for her efforts was to become a weak link worth exploiting. Then groomed, then entrapped, then imprisoned.

But by the end of it, she deserved it… right?

[bq]Visual Description:
A drawing of Cozy Glow. She looks apprehensive and unkempt, her mane is completely undone, messy vestiges of her once-pristine curls part at her forehead just enough to reveal a scar where her horn had been from her brief time as alicorn. Her pose is withdrawn, her wingfeathers unpreened, and her right foreleg is lifted, indicating a limp.
Golden cursive text next to her reads “Have you ever seen a child in such a sorry state that you want to promise whoever did this to them will pay dearly for it? Have you ever been unable to make that promise because that somepony was you?”[/bq]
