I loved loved loved the new chapter.
My biggest fetishes is petplay, so I would love to see Mary trying to transform her into a feet loving little doggy. What is a better position to sniff and lick feet, to suck on beautiful toes than on all fours. This will be extremely humiliating for Lara, who in that time frame (1 week, 2 weeks, or even 1 month) will not be allowed to talk, being punished when she speaks like a human and not bark like a dog.
Mary could even use sensory deprivation in form of a nice thick hood and earplugs to rob Lara of her senses and become entirely dependent on Mary to guide her along the mansion. Over time Lara will crave every order, every interaction to break the deafening silence the hood and plugs punish her with. She will become even more desperate to please, to do everything even if that means debasing her. She will do it all happily since it means someone is paying her attention, someone sees her worthy of their time.
There will still of course be resistance from Lara, which will be either punished by paddle or whip, or worse, by ignoring her for long stretches of time. Lara will learn to avoid those punishments and simply accept everything Mary makes her do as law.
This could lead the way for two outcomes. One is that this is a temporary thing for a week or a month, with Lara coming out of the experience even more broken or docile. The alternative could be a petplay themed “bad end” ending, not canon.
In this reality Lara becomes Lassy, Sarahs and Marys pet doggy. She is no longer considered human, Sarah even registers her like one would a normal dog and pays taxes on her. She is property, in every fiber of her being and in the eyes of the law. Still a part of high society, just in a cruel perverted way as she lazes next to Sarahs feet on the ground, being groped, petted and made fun of by the other members of society.
In my opinion this would be the ultimate fall from grace next to objectification, turning her into a statue or something in Sarahs office.
Lara is not even considered human any longer and has hit total rock botto.
Either way, every time you finish your updates I yearn for time to pass by quicker, just to read your next chapter.
All the best to you and your family and I hope you have a great day!
