Tiffany Reese

We're not really together together.

But she also worked on the musical with you, which is unique to the other survivors.

What was your experience of her?

How long do you think you guys were rehearsing for this musical together?

Emotionally that night, like after the play, you go home and you're processing this.

What's going through your mind in those moments?

Performing is also so exhilarating, right?

You work for months and then it's such an adrenaline rush and it feels like it could have been even more confusing because these experiences that you've had with him are all tied to this exciting event as well.

For sure.

Absolutely.

What was your communication like after the musical wrapped, if you recall?

Do you think you had any concept of power imbalances when you were 18 years old?

No.

As you got older and thought back on the relationship with Kato, did you start to see the experience differently?

Like, for example, you mentioned at the time it felt really exciting.

Did that with time as you got older change the way that you saw the experience?

Yeah, well, that shame, we can sort of confront the shame as we have more information too, right?

So as you got older and as you learn and as you hear about others' experiences, that's how we become more informed.

And certainly that's why young girls are often targeted by men in power because they know that they're more likely to have that power dynamic work in their favor, right?

It is certainly one of the tactics for sure.
