The Hall of Broken Hearts

How did we get here? My name is Prisha Essephranix-Takahashi. Our matrilineal family started in 2350. Our matri-name kin was much smaller than everyone else’s. Essephranix was a name passed down, mother to child, and was a name which could not be changed. It was odd being the matriarch of a kinfolk which was now just me, a family of one, parents dead. The year? 3001.
