The Victim will remain with a Persecutor or, if not being persecuted, will set someone else up in the role of Persecutor.

The Victim will also seek help, creating one or more Rescuers to save the day, who will in reality perpetuate the Victim's negative feelings and leave the situation broadly unchanged.
