Chapter 12 Summary

Despite being a prisoner, Dee finds that she has more autonomy living on Alcatraz 2.0 than she did living with her overprotective dad. As she walks to work, other inmates avoid her. Dee thinks they do not want to be associated with Cinderella Survivor and the huge target she represents. A greasy-haired man ogles her, making a rude comment about her ass. Dee tries to avoid him, but he grabs her wrist and pulls her close. He implies that he killed the “last bitch” who ignored him. The man runs away when he notices multiple cameras trained on him.

Nyles startles Dee and she reflexively punches him, then apologizes. Nyles knows Rodrigo, the lech bothering Dee. Nyles assures Dee that Rodrigo will leave her alone now that he knows she is Cinderella Survivor.

Dee asks Nyles about a comment about the island having camera-free zones. Nyles denies mentioning this, and when Dee brings it up again, Nyles kisses her. Dee is shocked. Dee tries again, gets kissed again, and Nyles whispers it is not safe to talk. Dee is unsure whether to be glad or sad that his kisses were only to keep their conversation from being heard.
