This is amazing. Such a wonderful, terrible song choice for Jesse and Riley. (Terrible, as in inspiring terror.) It is so full of the "for her own good" lies that abusers so often tell, and yet there is also self-awareness creeping through: really, perfect for Jesse and her relationship with Riley.
(Early on, I was arguing with Jesse, "No, you're the cat! She was fine until you got her! You're the cat!" ...and then, suddenly, Jesse was the cat.)
And oh, Riley: so brave. Riley doesn't want to be kept in a box. Riley won't be kept in a box. Riley.
