Her eyes go dark and she begins to twirl her dreadlocks. “These days, you look at me like I’m a monster.” Her voice is so low, I can barely hear her. “I don’t think you’re—” “This is victim shaming, you know…”

“By the sea and in the eyes of the Mother and the Lord of Judgement, I declare myself to you. I come to you without distinctions and without glory, without the trifling and meaningless trappings of mortal honours. I come to you as nothing and no one but myself.
