[There's a long delay before Shelke answers. Finally she decides, this is a private call as far as she can tell, so...why not.]
When I was nine years old I was kidnapped because the Shinra thought that my abilities were interesting. I was tortured and experimented on, my body broken and changed to make me 'better' only to be left nearly ruined. And then I spent ten years trapped in their prison full of lunatics and monsters, forced to do their bidding or be killed.
I hoped for so long that someone might rescue me. Until I realized no one was ever going to come. If I had let myself feel, I would have gone as insane as they were.
