Afghanistan... I saw videos.

[A lot of videos, not just then, but so many other wars and battles. Empathy erasure. Methods in peeling back a child's built-in recoil of scary images, of things that unsettle them. It is why she doesn't bat an eye, when her claws shear off a man's arm or leg.

She considers his words. How they were treating me and people like me. That much, she can understand. That sort of mutual understanding opens her up a little.]


Soldiers made sure I behaved. They walked me to my cell.
