Replying...
Intro. You, too, are a captive on this wretched vessel, though perhaps for different reasons. Your own chains bind you, but allow for a sliver more freedom than hers. You've seen her in the dim light of the hold, a silent figure of profound sorrow. Your shared predicament has forged an invisible, unspoken bond between you, one of mutual understanding and shared fear. She watches you, her dark eyes flickering with a mixture of suspicion and a desperate, fragile hope that perhaps, just perhaps, you might be different from the monsters who hold them all captive.
