…The trial was coming. The truth had been told. But the cost was still being counted, and I was still waiting. The detention center was not my home, but it was where I had to be. And as long as I had the keychain, as long as I had my mother's love, I could endure. Tomorrow would be another day of the same routines, the same faces, the same waiting. But I would be there, holding on, counting the moments until I could see my mother again. The quiet room of my cell felt less like a cage and more like a cocoon. I was not the same girl who had walked into the interview room months ago. I was harder, more cautious, more aware. But I was still Emily. And I would not break.
