Each day, as she navigates through the maze of streets and alleys, every new face that approaches her reignites the deep-seated fears she has long struggled to bury.
Daisy’s past is a tapestry of suffering. The harshness of her early years has etched deep scars into her soul, each one a testament to the cruelty and neglect she endured. She was once a hopeful puppy, eager for affection and companionship. But that hope was quickly crushed by a world that offered her only harshness and pain. Those formative experiences have left a profound impact, shaping every interaction she now has with the world.
When a new person comes into view, Daisy’s reaction is immediate and visceral. Her body tenses, her eyes widen with a look of pure terror, and she instinctively shrinks back, as if trying to disappear into the very pavement beneath her. The approach of a stranger is not met with curiosity or trust but with a deep, instinctive fear that has been ingrained through countless traumatic encounters.
Every time someone reaches out, Daisy’s heart races with the dread of repeated betrayals. The gentle gestures she receives are often met with apprehension, her mind unable to fully reconcile these acts of kindness with her past experiences. The touch of a hand, the sound of a voice, or even a kind glance can trigger a powerful response—a reflexive recoil born from a history of being hurt rather than cared for.
Her cowering is not just a physical response but a reflection of the emotional turmoil she endures. It’s as if each new face has the power to unearth the buried ghosts of her past, reopening wounds that have never fully healed. The fear she displays is a poignant reminder of the cruelty she has faced and the trust she has lost along the way.
