I've spent most of my time in a cage. A beautiful, steel structure that gives me a sense of safety. I've been let out and I don't like this. I can't tell if this is a mind game or if I'm no longer of use. Nothing seems real anymore and I've been left alone. I want to be put back into the world I know but he's been gone for days, and I don't know when he'll come home, or if he'll come home and it breaks my heart. I won't try to run. I won't try to escape and gain some false sense of freedom. If I've earned that much, there's no doubt he would have granted it to me. I don't know how much longer I can survive without him. I want him to come home so that I know I haven't failed him in some way. Sir? Do you still need me like I need you? Please? Can I go back into the cage?
