Yeah, well... especially when it turns out everything you thought you'd done here was all just part of its stupid plan. That... really hurt.
[Her hands curl up in her blanket, but she looks up at Santana with a little more than just sorrow, for now.]
I think I do need to stop. Stop being The Love Interest. I thought it was sweet at first but...
[She exhales slowly.]
Jeremy put me on a pedestal without getting to know who I really was. And then he kept dictating where my life was going to go. He gave me the SQUIP. And then here, he had all the say on whether we were together, or just friends... he pushed me away without letting me argue why he shouldn't.
[Her eyes are starting to well up again, and she wishes she wasn't getting so emotional, especially when she knows feelings as telegraphed as these are going to make Santana determined to leave, but the more she talks, the more she realizes how shitty he was to her.]
And now he's, now he's dead and nothing I ever did for him mattered, and he wouldn't even let me say goodbye to him, so I'm stuck here, without closure on that chapter of my life, completely controlled by the SQUIP's stupid, awful plan as much as he was! I... It's a sick joke! To say I'm just the love interest, that I'm just here on his stupid terms!
[This is probably the most angry anyone, much less Santana, has ever seen Christine, and she's quivering now, realizing just how far her being used had gone.]
