How long had she been sitting there? Ever since she was moved from her previous cell, Kinsakwi kept to herself. She couldn't bring herself to look outside of her cell, she tried not to think of her friends... She was lonely, yet she didn't trust the world outside her small cell. The ship was a hostile place, and the only thing it ever did to her was attack her, both physically and mentally. It had taken her integrity, her confidence, her security and lately, her health. She was ashamed of the simple thought of showing her face to anyone, or letting anyone come close to her in her state. She had stopped eating the food given to her, and she could barely stand her own breath.

She sighed as she opened her eyes, looking at her uncomfortable bed, then at the slender metallic finger hidden beneath the thin mattress. She smiled a bit, sadly, once she saw the finger, peeking out ever so slightly from its hiding spot. Was Xid okay? How long had it been since that session with Sith Lord Namore?

"Too long..." She whispered, pushing the finger back under the mattress, so it was fully hidden. 

"It's been... [i]Too[/I] long." 

Then she felt a knot form in her throat, and she couldn't help the emotion that suddenly overcame her. A small tear flowed down her right cheek, before being wiped dry by the dark fabric of Kinsa's robes. 

"No! That's what they want, Kinsa... They want to twist you, they want to destroy your training... They won't manage to do it. Besides, it's only been a few days... I think..." She said, pushing back her feelings and swallowing away the knot in her throat.

"Yet... They've already done so, haven't they? Wasn't it you who took justice in her own hands?" 

"I... It was needed. Senators are corrupt." 

"What about yourself? Are you not corrupt?" She asked herself, her facial expression quickly switching back and forth between inquisitive, stressed and depressed.

"What about that time you snuck into the archives? That time you studied those relics?" 

"What about when you kissed that guy? Wasn't it corrupt? Wasn't it deviated? Wasn't it... Passionate?"

By now, Kinsa stood silent, curling up lightly with her back against the furthest wall from the cell's exit, looking down at her feet as she rested her head on her knees, sniffling. Why was she having so much trouble keeping herself together? She really wanted Xid to be right about her, she wanted to feel like she was actually... Good. But she couldn't, and it made her feel dirty and tainted. Not to mention finger-less and helpless.
