Ok, I don't know much about how the judicial system works, so don't flip out on me if I get something wrong. It won't hurt anything.
Still not really coherent enough to realize what's going on around her, Salsber tells the police everything they ask, leaving out no details. This also includes the fact that she was attempting to rob the bank in which Chikan found her, therefore, after a short time in the hospital to allow her body time to rid itself of toxins and heal from Chikan's rough activities, Salsber was sentenced to a year in jail.
As Salsber is lead out of the courtroom, she realizes that she's not really feeling anything, just emptyness. All her emotions seem to have disappeared. I just wanna sleep... and be alone... I'm not afriad... I should be afriad... I was always afraid of this, before... before Master left... She's a bit confused by the fact that even thoughts of Master Martines's death didn't sadden her.
Two weeks pass before Salsber really leaves her cell. She couldn't look at food without thinking of the ways Chikan force fed her, and feeling sick, so she wouldn't go to the cafeteria. She drank water from the bathroom sink when her dry throat gave her no choice.
Her first cell mate started out attempting to irritate her with noises such as popping joints, but she soon got bored with that and gave up, as Saslber gave no responses. She figured trying physical pain wasn't worth it, as she got out two weeks after Salsber came. Her second cell mate was more amusing.
Tifa walks in the cell with her hands resting lazily on her head, eyes closed, as if she's just walking into her room at home. "So, who're you?" she's asuming she's got a cell mate.
Deep in thought, Salsber is rather annoyed by Tifa's loud attitude. "The name's Salsber, now leave me alone." She was laying flat on the bed, now she turns over to face the wall.
Tifa blinks her eyes open and lets her arms hang. "Depressed little one, aren't cha?"
Salsber sighs, but gives no other responce, thinking Tifa'll just give up like her first cell mate.
"Yea, well. I'm Tifa, and I'm gonna talk to you whether you talk back or not, cause I get bored too easy, especially here... nuthin' to do. You'd think they're tryin to punish us or something." she laughs at her own joke.
Salsber pulls her blanket over her head.
Tifa talks through the night, pausing only when gaurds are close enough to hear. by morning, Salsber gives in. "Alright! If you promise me you'll lemme sleep tonight, I'll talk back."
Tifa laughs lightly. "Alrighty, then." She stretches back on her bed. "What'd ya do, anyway?"
She sighs. "Robbed a buncha places."
"Really? How'd ya get caught?"
Salsber rolls over and faces the wall before answering. "Insane rapist caught me and pretty much paralized me for a week... when I escaped, I didn't really think about what I told the cops, so they found out about the whole robber thing..."
Tifa blinks. "Fun."
Salsber laughs lightly. I think I made her speechless. Didn't think it was possible.
"Somethin funny?"
"Not really, no..." not wanting Tifa to ask more questions... "What about you? What'd you do?"
She shrugged. "Just the basic stuff, theft, drug dealing... nothin violent, just a lotta fun stuff."
