Remember me naked
You’ll have to learn to fight… with your mind, or your teeth.
I laugh softly. Oh… I know how to defend myself, I whisper. I’ve survived much worse… the outside world, for example.
She sizes me up, intrigued. Hmm… you could be funny if you didn’t look like a princess lost in her glass castle.
— Princess… I repeat, ironic. Yes, fallen princess, in a wrinkled dress and heels clacking on the tiles… A true modern fairy tale, isn’t it?
A heavy silence settles in. Even the snorer seems to be listening to me. I laugh again, a nervous, grating laugh that sounds like a small act of rebellion.
