Star:Her mom was on there. When I found her, she’d already been sold, wedded, impregnated, and had died. Katina was in an orphanage by that point.

Conor:And you rode in and saved her.

Star:Sometimes I think she saved me.

Conor:Did the Sparrows deal in Baltic brides?

Star:No. Sex slaves.

Conor:So why did they sell her then? How do you know there was a sale? Did you find a payment trail?

Star:No. I guess I just assumed. Back then I didn’t know as much about their activities. Plus, Alessa… You know her, right?

Conor:Katina’s sister, of course. Another Sparrows’ victim. :(

Star:Yeah. :/ She confirmed that was what her mom intended. She sent money back home too.

Conor:Doubt the Sparrows gave her anything from that transaction.

Star:Maybe her husband loved her. I got mine to do anything I wanted. By the end.

Conor:Fucks me in the head to think you married your buyer.

Star:I killed him too.

Conor:That freaks me out less.

Star:Good to know lol.

Conor:So you want to find more of these manifestos?

Star:I was thinking that was a start.

Conor:It’s a needle in a haystack.

Star:I know, but we have the original manifesto. I tracked maybe five of the women, but I got sidetracked with Katina and stopped heading down that path and focused on the Sparrows, not their victims.

Conor:Why are you shifting gears now?

Star:You said you’d help.

Conor:And I will.

Star:Plus, I told Dead To Me about this situation.

Conor:Why don’t you call her by her name?

Star:Habit. I’m Lodestar to her and she’s Dead To Me to me.

Conor:It’s such a mouthful.

Star:Lol. More like a bunch of letters to type.

Conor:What’s her real name?

Star:Cin.

Conor:What did you get her doing?
