[Oh, she didn't expect any replies, much less one willing to take on a pity case, so if Sasha looks a little surprised, that's why.]

There weren't any kids in my village when I was little. It's different there now, but when I was a kid it was only me. I don't know anybody for that long that isn't my dad.

[Seems like having a built-in friend is something easy, something Sasha has from serving in the military, but everybody has their own lives now and she's left in search of hers.]

I'm Sasha.
