"Micha Qureshi." She answered, eyes downcast and ashamed at her own weakness, she let the past keep her from her future, she let Thane continue to ruin her life, she allowed the bastard to become a hindrance in her life and that was unacceptable. But how could anyone blame her? Thane had been the first person to ever speak kindly to her, to ever tell her she was even slightly attractive. She was nothing but a flea bitten mangy mongrel and yet he saw something in her, something that no one else would ever see again. And that hurt. Realizing that she had lost the only person who had ever been kind to her or found her somehow beautiful was very painful. And yet it needed to happen. She needed to continue on and forget him, and forget ever being loved by anyone but herself. It was just easier that way. It was somehow less painful. Somehow being alone forever was better than being hurt again.

Speech!
