"Because he [i]deserves[/i] it!" she snarled. "Let [i]him[/i] see what it's like to be a mindless fucking [i]vegetable[/i]!"

He yelped and reflexively let go of her cage as his face was knocked to the side, but she achieved nothing more than a bruise near her stem and an even tighter grip on her vines from the other monsters holding her back.
