X-X-X-X-X

Her mind is being invaded every time she touches someone. She's not just harming them she's harming herself.

She feels like she's being violated, and yet she's the one doing the violating. It's like her soul, her Self, is being raped over and over again within the confines of her mind.

She doesn't even know who she is anymore, only who she used to be, and she fights tooth and nail to keep her own memories separate, to hold on to who she is for just that little bit longer. She tells herself to just make it through this minute, this hour, this day, this week… Just make it through this hell. Survive.
