Don't misunderstand me, Jerry. I know what you're doing. You feel helpless and out of control. Emasculated, as it were. You're trying to regain your power by exerting control over me. Because you can. Or you think you can. It makes you feel brave. You can persuade yourself that your fear isn't gnawing its way through your stomach the way I gnaw on that very emotion. You think me putting on rubber gloves and scrubbing away like a deck swab is going to somehow empower you because oh, look, you made the big bad nogitsune do something she didn't want to do.
[She sniffs disdainfully.] You think you're going to what, rehabilitate me? To do that, you have to understand to me. And the only thing you can manage is to play a little boy's game of king of the hill.
