[She sighs. Those empty walls, the quiet, the gaping hole inside her felt so far away. Those moments when she'd wake up in the middle of the night, screaming out an open window into thunderstorms that drowned out her voice.
Just for an attempt to find something.
To fill that hole.]
Mother was...always cold to me. Father was always gone. My friends always protected me.
[A pause.]
I never felt...whole. But after coming here, I feel like...I'm complete. I feel like I came back to somewhere I've been before. It doesn't...make much sense, I suppose. Speaking Hieratic with you feels more natural to me than speaking my native tongue these days, and learning alongside you feels like what I should have done all along.
It's like my life before coming here was a long, distant dream...

And coming here was like I finally woke up.

Is that...strange?
