Politeness Withdrawn. Respect Declared Non-Reciprocal.
I. Respect and Kindness Are Not Institutional Habits
In this 15:32 iPhone missive, Polly Chromatic addresses Samira Issa, Eric Wedge-Bull, and Glen Peache with the composure only a violated woman of reason can sustain. Bcc’d, naturally, to Nannette Nicholson for public memory.
She writes:
“I don’t appreciate being forced to have humans in my home whom I do not trust and whom have treated me disrespectfully.”
“Additionally, I don’t appreciate being bothered while I am sick.”
This is not a request.
It is a post-mortem of institutional etiquette.
II. When You’ve Been Too Polite for Too Long
Noelle continues:
“I realise that you don’t care and that you don’t understand how to treat humans with kindness and respect.”
A line functioning both as diagnosis and closure.
A sentence worthy of social work training manuals under:
“Why Families Withdraw.”
She ends with:
“Thank you for your understanding.”
An exquisite final stroke — snide, formal, and true.
III. This Was Not a Letter. It Was a Ritual Revocation of Access
Polly was sick.
Her trust was broken.
Her home was entered.
Her tone remained regal.
This is how you close a door —
elegantly, and with no keys left inside.

If you cannot offer kindness, don’t expect entry — physical or emotional.
