"The truth is that every day here I am terrified, and nobody ever sees it. I'm scared to death both of staying here any longer, and of what's waiting for me if that door ever opens and I'm somehow forced to go back through. I'm worried that when the day comes they won't have to force me because I'll be so tired of this place that I'll take my chances against her.
She's faintly trembling now, because this is the most honest she's ever been about what she actually thinks of this place.
