Broken.
A word typically ascribed to fragmented, useless things – not people.
A word most would easily impose upon a woman like Dacia, knowing she’s been through the kind of things that are meant to leave a person fragmented.
A word that comes with pre-conceived notions, judgements… limitations.
None of which she embraces, or accepts.
Because what if putting the pieces back together is the very thing that makes her stronger?
