I glance at W05W and give her a short, rare smile before turning back to my work, shaking my head.
"No need to thank me. I should thank you for helping me. How are you feeling?", I ask her, always concerned about the wellbeing of the others.
"And what is happening in the tent?"

"Better today," I reply, and then I explain the Ophelia gallery to her. Our gilded cages, the leering public, everything we have seen and done these past few days.
"We are put on display for the profit of the Asylum." I say, casting my eyes down. I am ashamed to be part of the plot that raised the fortune of the horrible people who run our prison.

I place my hand gently on her shoulder and awkwardly stroke it couple of times. "It's still better than being under the knife or syringe...", I try to console her. I see the shame in her eyes, and I know the feeling very well myself. "You shouldn't feel any blame, there's not much we can do. At least you get to eat and rest better than usually. Let it make you stronger.", I whisper and keep an eye on the Chasers, stinging my finger with the needle as I do so.

I chuckle softly. "You should've seen W05W. She set some of those men straight, I'd say!"
Still chuckling, I hope off my bed and grab the copy of 'Call of the Wild' in my teeth. With the help of my friends, I'm learning to read it.
After struggling through the book for a few pages, I finally look up at my friends. "Do you think you'll ever escape?" I know there's no one on the outside waiting for me, but surely these lovely ladies must have families or friends...right?

W03Z joins us with her book and we set to reading and sewing in lovely company. I almost feel as though I weren't a prisoner. As if she can read my mind, Wolfie asks if she thinks either of us will ever leave here, and return to our families.
"I know many girls here have no family, or friends to speak of. And those like me who do, well my family is ashamed of me. I am of no use to them anymore, and anyone who might wish to see me is a woman with no more say than I. My mother, my friends. No, I dare say this is my home now, for I am unfit to conform to their society and they have condemned me for it."

I suck my bleeding thumb so I don't get any blood on the girls' garments, and stare at nothing. I listen to W05W's words and they make me sad, but I know how she feels.
"Yes. This is where I belong, too.", I whisper deep in my thoughts. I continue to make small stitches.

I sigh. "Well, I think you both are more worthy than any man in civilized society." I look down at my book, a bit wary of how they may react to my words. Still, it needed to be said: Although Asylum girls are seen as the weakest link in society, there is no denying they are the strongest of all.

"As at you, my dear" I reply. She looks a bit wary and I take her hand. I understand what she means. I know many girls here who are far more sane and intelligent than many people I knew outside the Asylum.

I look up at W05W and smile. "The doctors don't know what's coming their way, now do they?" I'm not entirely sure what I mean by that, but something tells me a reckoning is coming.

I try to step into the room delicately as to not interrupt the conversation, but the push from the chaser caused me to stumble. I straightened my new and beautiful dress, still in love with the most beautiful texture I have ever felt. The chaser shut the door, without a care of what was going on inside. I give my fellow inmates a shy smile. "Room for one more?" I bit my lip.

I smile back at W03Z then turn as I hear the door. A new girl is being pushed roughly into the room. She looks bashful as she stumbles away from the rough grip of the Chaser, and asks if there's room. I smile and gesture for her to join me and W03Z.
"Hello," I say, "I'm W05W".

I relax a little. "I'm W18R, it's nice to meet you. So, how is it to be part of the gallery?"

I am shoved into the room and I put up as little fight as I can, I know the threats and I know how bad it will be if I make a scene. Still the chasers anger me "listen to me you little shits I will have your guts for garters and the gods know I need some new ones you little shits" I said through clenched teeth, all I can do not to yell it "I'll fuck you up" they toss me in and and lock the door as they leave. I smooth out my dress and relax "fuckers at least know my color is black"

I smile at the explosive eruption caused by my friend, W22F. I take her hand and pull her to meet W05W and W03Z. "You've joined us as well?"

"Aye. though not sure i'd use the word joined so much as forced. No offence." I say in my thick Welsh accent "Sorry the chasers were handsy and they didn't even tip"
