Shai-shai explodes.
>"Have you ever even THOUGHT of not being stuck in here for the rest of your fucking life? Do you KNOW where you came from?"
"Shai-shai, we've always been safe here," I say. She is starting to scare me! This is our home!
>"I'm sorry... I'm really sorry, I shouldn't raise my voice. It's just that that Master Rin does NOT sound safe. He talks like he owns us, and owns Madame Zo, and owns this place, and I am scared! Ok, I am scared. I am always scared, I'm sorry!"
Shai-shai breaks down in tears again. She is a complete wreck right now! Still, her words, to me, are more profound than anything that I have ever heard. Shai-shai is older than me, but I have never seen her as someone to look up to until now.
"I... think you're right."
>"I knew you... wait, really? I mean, really?"
My first reaction is to just run out the door, but no. It can't be that easy.
We need a plan. If we are going to get out of here, it needs to be done carefully. Neither of us has any idea what it is like on the outside.
