Summary
Loneliness. It does not always mean to be without company, without friends, or without a love, but to know that a love cannot be. To cast aside what the heart feels is an illusion of the mind, a cause of dejection and sorrow. It is a pain that echoes emptiness in the pits of the soul and forges a darkness that only one light can eclipse. And that light will never shine.

Summary
It was not until I bothered befriending her that I understood, after months of simple gestures, of smiles in the right direction, of donating my own rations because I realized that I had made a game out of seeing how many ribs I could count on her as we all bathed. She finally told me the butterfly’s lullaby was one she knew well, by heart. And the story of us and our sisterhood began with little else—with so little to call her own, I am left to assume that the company of a stranger in a place she believed to be so cold and devoid of love meant the world. My empathy grew each day as I remembered the tale of her song, the one she finally told me in the dead of night when she was sure nobody could hurt her for finally reminiscing on memories she held of a life prior to having it torn from her fingers.
