Hierarchy

This story begins with Aria doing consensual BDSM roleplay with her friends, who are treating her as their "pet". It starts out as a mix of silly and sexy. But as the day goes on, she begins to have ugly, violent thoughts about herself. Her friends stop the scene when they notice that she is no longer having a good time. The three of them discuss what happened and Aria's friends reassure her that she is valued.

Aria is treated as if she is inferior and subordinate to her friends, in both subtle and overt ways, up until the final scene where their roleplaying ends. The final scene makes it clear that this treatment was performed at Aria's request, and doesn't reflect their actual feelings about Aria.

The interactions between Aria and her friends are consensual, but in the scenarios that Aria imagines internally, it's not clear whether her "imagined self" is consenting. However, since Aria is just picturing these scenarios in her head, her consent is never actually violated by another person in this story.

Here are some specific events from the story that may be upsetting.

• Aria is referred to as a "pet" and her friends talk about her as if she is not human.
• Aria is asked to take off her friend's socks using her mouth.
• Aria is asked to take off her friend's panties using her mouth, and then to lick her friend's genitals.
• Aria thinks about an unsanitary scenario where she is lying naked inside a half-full trash can in public. People pass by and throw garbage on her or look at her in disgust, and one person stops and spits in her mouth.
• Aria considers the idea of being shrunk to a tiny size, and remarks that her friend would be able to easily kill or torture her at that size. She imagines that friend feeding her to a frog and watching her die.
• Aria discusses trauma related to her self-image and sexuality with her friends, specifically how her sexuality has been influenced by self-hatred and a sense of seeing herself as lesser than others.
