Lifting the fabric is not permitted; what lies beneath is not meant to be seen. The possibility remains within arm’s reach, perhaps even closer. You have the ability to reveal what is concealed behind the veil. Such is the ease with which a refusal can be disregarded.

Abuse alters the brain, leading to trauma that will forever remain within the mind of the victim.
