The castle has its advantages, huge kitchen to work in, giant library full of books to study. I don't hate being here but my old life is just nagging on my mind all the time since I can't fix things while I'm here.

[Unfinished business is like an itchy spot you just can't reach. On top of a whole life she was just given, hated, but can't turn back into herself. Still getting used to a body that doesn't feel her's now in a world that wasn't hers either.]
