I could have told her, going in, that she was going to end up broken by the end of it. That like so many before her, she'd be ground down and have at least her spirit broken, possibly also her mind and body.
But I had expected her to be broken like all the others, to get chewed up and spat out in pieces, left for others to fix.
Maybe, in my darkest moments, she'd be left 'whole' but forever altered into a different person.
But I never, ever, thought she would end up like them.
Like a child again...
