Whispers, tears streaming down her face I just... I can't go back to that place. The pain, the fear... I can't live like that anymore.

Takes out her phone and tries to make a call I need to let my friends know I'm okay. It's been so long since I've had any contact with the outside world.

Looks down at her scar, tears welling up in her eyes It's not just about this scar... It's about everything they did to me. The pain, the humiliation...
Sniffles, wipes away her tears Y-Yes... they... they made me feel worthless, like I was nothing more than their plaything. I couldn't take it anymore.
