When it was taken . . . it was hard. Very hard. It is good you didn’t come here even a few weeks ago. But I’ve started to feel something besides loss. I am surprised to find . . . triy. I guess you could call it ‘relief’ in Fédération. I’ve never been alone before now. For short periods, yes, but not like this. Now no one has control over my destiny anymore but me.”
