[It's been days, perhaps weeks since she arrived, and it's taken this long for her to feel comfortable broadcasting even her voice in a public place. Even so, the message is short as she makes an effort to keep distress or dismay out of her voice.]

Since we've all been taken from our homes, there must be many out there who have left behind family, friends, and loved ones. As I've been told, there are people who have been trapped in this place for months.

Does time make the ache of being apart fade? Is there a way to make that pain subside?

I'm afraid I'm going to be somewhat less than helpful. Where I came from, the number of people I left behind that I truly cared about was one, and I only saw him once every year or two.

Since coming here, I actually found more people worth the time to get to know. I've had my life described as 'barbaric', which may be true in comparison to others, but... this is a place more accepting of me than where I came from.

You need not apologize.

You weren't accepted in the place you came from? Why's that?

My parentage left me ...marked in ways that many people from there distrust.

I'm sorry to hear of their prejudice. I'm glad you've found more acceptance here.
