Shirley, fifteen. Ferines. I’m not trained to fight, but you’re already aware that I was capable of other things in our world.
Qri gave the ability to grant people’s wishes, but even something small exhausted me when I tried it. I haven’t used it or done anything else unusual while in the city. I told them the truth about the Ferines and how eres don’t work here, but avoided saying anything about the coven or my status.
[There’s a pause as Shirley leaves Jay to fill in the meaning there.]
Although I had already told them about eres, they seem to be more interested in finding out information about the coven and what we got from Qri. I’ve refrained from talking about such matters, so they have been somewhat...rough in their treatment of me.
[A beat, and her tone becomes even more guarded than before.]
They did many things while testing. Some were harmful. Others were not. My condition is...for the most part, they have only put me through testing. But there have been many tests, and I am "uncooperative."
[Shirley means that last part to be bitterly sarcastic, but mostly it just comes out as exhausted.]
