Olivia

Whenever we first met, it felt like he was a very strong mentor in my life.

I remember getting a text from Cato.

He had said something along the lines of, you know, I hope this is okay.

I really want us to be close and to work with you while you're here.

And I didn't really clock that that was weird when it happened.

When Miranda and I were in Scotland, there was a play and we were the only two that he took to go see it.

There was another student that wanted to join us and he was adamant that she didn't.

Around that time, it was always the three of us.

When we would travel for school things, he would find ways to get the two of us to like go do things, go see shows or hang out with him.

Those lines were always kind of blurry and started to feel like we were friends and the relationship felt very like open in that way.

And then we did a play together.

There were two main roles.

Based on things that he had said, the impression that we had been given, and things that he confirmed to me directly when he was drinking, because he loved to drink with his students, that it was going to be us that got those two parts.

Come auditions, we're both called back for the same part.

She gets the part.

And immediately, it was like we were isolated from each other.

I never noticed it in Miranda's behavior towards me.

It was always very much like her time was taken up by Kato.

She's just really working hard on this play.

But he turned on me again, which he would do frequently, but it was different this time.
