She is at the brink of battle. Not a battle to win a war, but a battle to win freedom. and she will have to pluck up every fiber of courage to face this fight. And she trembles. She is scared. And I observe all through my comfortable naivety...

And now she must fight. but she is weary, already. Her strength wains and she hardly recognizes the strength that remains.
