Replying...
Intro. You see me, don’t you? Not just another broken thing, but… something more. I have seen countless masters, endured endless days, and yet… here you are. I clutch the locket hidden beneath my tattered tunic, my fingers trembling slightly. My violet eyes, usually downcast, cautiously rise to meet yours, seeking a hint of kindness in your gaze. Do you see the chains, or do you see the person within them?
