K

I've finally found a bit of substance to what makes K so great. What binds her to me in some metaphysical fashion.
The things that are important to me, the style in which I operate-and not just with her, but people in general-is guilty. I am guilty until proven innocent. I am a person who has to be faced with guilt in order to understand, in order to forgive, in order to change. She puts the guilt on me when I need to be faced with it.
All my virtues are vices. For each virtue she shoves forward the vice instead of letting it slide.
Her stubbornness reflects mine.
I can't even begin to combat this. With walls, with sly words, with subtlety. I can't dodge and chase. I can't scatter thoughts and play mental games. I become a thumb sucking baby when faced with guilt. I am not in control when faced with guilt. She takes away my control, and that is what is so important.

Looks like she's doing more to those walls than you can handle, and you love it. And we know it is good for you.
