Venus knows she's in the minority in this conversation, but she finds herself protective not of the system, which she's come to sour on, but of the idea. Of taking meaning through the vicarious lives of others.
When she was a little girl, sometimes it was all that would get her through. And sometimes it wasn't enough and she'd wake up in the hospital.
"The people watching aren't the ones who pull the strings to make this happen. They're just watching a fairytale with real props, as far as they're concerned."
