"It was midnight. We made little progress, and didn't know where we were going. We found ourselves standing outside the women's detention center. A man stood next to us on the sidewalk and shouted something, his head raised like a wailing jackal. On the fifth floor, you could see the distant face of a woman behind the bars. The transfer of inmates from jail to jail was made in the early hours after midnight. It's the same with me. Whoever wants to love me will have to rescue me boldly, like in the Middle Ages. With my luck, who'd get the ransom money but that bitch Black Solitude! My past commandeers all the dazzling coins, and still can't get enough."
