[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.

Date: 2016-12-13 04:47 am (UTC)They can all come from excitement that fails.
no subject
Date: 2016-12-13 09:15 pm (UTC)so you can't just blame being excited about something for the bad feelings that might happen
it's not excitement's fault!!

Date: 2016-12-15 03:51 pm (UTC)[Which is why Shelke generally just tried not to feel anything.]
I do not just blame excitement.
no subject
Date: 2016-12-15 06:50 pm (UTC)because if the answer is joy and stuff we've got a huge problem!!

Date: 2016-12-21 05:17 am (UTC)oh
I'm really sorry
no subject
Date: 2016-12-21 05:19 am (UTC)Just that you understand. The things you assume are wonderful, excitement and hope, they are not always the blessing you think they are.
no subject
Date: 2016-12-21 05:49 am (UTC)so I'm sorry you had to live through that
no subject
Date: 2016-12-21 05:52 am (UTC)But one way or another it is over now, at least.
no subject
Date: 2016-12-23 05:18 am (UTC)new life new chances!!

Date: 2016-12-28 03:44 am (UTC)So are you going to steal that animal?
no subject
Date: 2017-01-01 09:58 pm (UTC)really see if it's ok in the zoo first
no subject
Date: 2017-01-03 02:52 am (UTC)There weren't any zoos in Midgar but what I have read indicates the ones here seem acceptable.
no subject
Date: 2017-01-04 04:04 am (UTC)you should go and see the wildlife sanctuaries tho
they're bigger and have fewer animals but they give them more room to run around
no subject
Date: 2017-01-04 04:19 am (UTC)But it sounds
Nice.
no subject
Date: 2017-01-04 09:25 pm (UTC)I'll recommend the best places
