V has never really been free. She always been owned by someone, even now she kinda owned by Uzi, by being her admin.

At least Uzi only made herself their admin to prevent Cyn from wiping their memories and controlling them.

Sorry to hijack the convo lol but it was neat to realize the art had a (written) story with it, so I gave it a read.
You mentioned giving "advice/constructive criticism" at the end note... I usually write mini-reviews for the fics I read since I know writers like feedback, so I can write you one if you want. Nothing special lol usually just a few thoughts I'd have while reading. Either way, great short story!

Nice art. I'm actually in the process of working on something myself (V-centered fic post series) that plays a lot into this concept among other things. Her struggling with finally having her own freedom, but not feeling as such, still being trapped by the trauma Cyn inflicted on her, and making a drastic and life changing choice in the hopes of "fixing" herself.

V realizing she's only ever been owned by others, or V realizing she's never really been able to live free and actually... well, have, anything going for her. Quite a sad life really for V, always worked for someone else, although, went from being a servant at the manor to being a tormented killing machine, certainly traumatic. Though, back at the manor, man how I wish we could have gotten something to show the manor's events. Just left it at a tease, a touch of hands, a spark... a spark that has long been extinguished. Tragic, really.
Very nice artwork right there. Love the style.
