Many unsuccessful hours of trying to act normal had resulted in a crashing realisation: she was not normal, not now and not ever again. Maybe she had once been but those days were long gone.
Of course even then she had been smarter than most people around. She was gifted, well beyond her years, and she was different from most in that she actually tapped into that potential.
She wanted to be her best and so her best is what she was.
Now, she is not at her best. They tried to make her better. They failed.
She’s broken now.
