What It Was to Be a Nóakal
Aēól gave her parents and brother a last round of tight embraces before boarding the shuttle. She didn’t bother looking at the Kuraē flanking the shuttle’s entrance; they were sure to be snickering, taking this show of affection as a sign of weakness. Aēól couldn’t bring herself to care. She knew there was a possibility that she would never return. The Kuraē had her in their registry; her powers were the strongest on Upper Taēkellár. Granted, if the Kuraē were going to start culling powerful Nóakal, they likely wouldn’t resort to some cloak-and-dagger routine involving a (fake?) request from the Interplanetary Alliance to help with an important mission, but the secrecy involved was making Aēól and her family suspicious all the same.

Escape
Trigger warning: abuse, suicide Language is important; words mean things. This is why I am adamant that people do not leave abusers; they escape abusers. The barriers to escaping an abuser can be monumental. Perhaps you’re financially dependent on your abuser. Maybe your abuser has you so emotionally and mentally enervated that you can’t muster the strength to run. You could be afraid that if you get away, your abuser will find you and hurt you or worse. “Leaving” such a situation doesn’t seem adequate. “Escaping” seems closer to the truth.
