Chapter 41

• In the next few days, I discovered that my new reality wasn't as dreadful as I had imagined. The solitude was comforting, and the absence of constant hostility was a relief. I began to establish a daily routine, finding solace in structure and small achievements.
• Each morning, I woke up at dawn. The soft light streamed in through the small window of my room. I had no view to be amazed at but it was still good enough.
