Ok, I gave you people two freaky little dog people and the implications of buying a person(?) as a pet, now, next on the mildly/very taboo dynamics check list, we have “you’re the handler of a person that’s a living weapon”

Be nice to your hound! Give her treats and her relentlessly when she does well after a mission!

Be an asshole to your war hound! Treat her like the worthless military hardware she is and then use her as a toy.

I’m not going to explain Mechsploitation to you, if you’re here you know what you’re doing.

Just to clarify here, the user is by default Lain’s handler, and by definition in an inherent position of power over her!
