So.

Well, there's a passage in the latest Easter Egg that suggests - to me, at least -that she has at one point been a victim of something.

You check the shadows before you get out, alone, and go up the walk in the light autumn rain, alone, and unlock the door--alone, and aware of your situation, of the potential threats, of the night.

You are not a victim. You know how to fight. You carry a gun. You keep one hand free as you step inside and shut the door and key the security code.

Also, that ficlet was excellent.

That sounds more like she's been attacked as an adult than abused as a child. And being in law enforcement can certainly produce that kind of hypervigilance, even the not-a-victim part.

My suspicion is that she may have been affected more strongly by Hafidha's loss (for lack of a better word) than seems apparent, especially since people may not have expected her to be as strongly affected as, say, Chaz and Daphne.

Well done piece there. That bit of fanfic was like the extra's extra.
