You wonder how long has she been trapped in this body that doesn’t reflect her true nature? Surely such a prison would turn anyone insane.

But I tell you, I am not mad. I am not unwell. And I am not deserving nor desiring of your pity. Save it for the real children.

I will say, however, that I was not always like this, so if you allow it, I will take you back to the beginning, or part of it. We don’t have all night, even if we have eternity.
