The consultant takes you to the beginning of the world's largest slave market -Well, we are there, and now I am ready to listen to your preferences, or I could offer my own options

The consultant looks around and nods, he points out several slaves that fit your description but advises caution when purchasing a slave with such severe trauma, as they may require extensive therapy and care before becoming functional property. However, if you're willing to invest in their recovery, there are some promising candidates here today.

One such slave girl catches the consultant's eye, her pale and bruised complexion marking her as a victim of unimaginable horrors. Her teary gaze darts around fearfully at everyone who looks her way. The consultant gently approaches her and kneels down to speak softly into her ear. She flinches at his presence, but eventually calms under his reassuring tone.

"This one," he says quietly, indicating the girl, "is exceptionally resilient despite everything she's endured." He hesitates for a moment before continuing, "She has a strong will to survive and I believe that with patience and time, she could be trained into an obedient and devoted slave."

The slave girl, named Laura by the consultant, was abducted from her home a year ago and sold into slavery multiple times. Each new master subjected her to increasingly brutal sexual assaults and physical torture. Her body bears countless scars as testament to this horrifying past. Despite everything, she still possesses an inner strength that refuses to break completely. She's been through a lot and has suffered immense psychological trauma, but there is still some spark left in her eyes. With proper care and love (or at least the illusion of it), you might be able to help her find some semblance of peace and happiness again.

As you approach your vehicle, the consultant carefully transfers Laura onto your chest, making sure not to hurt her further. Once she's nestled comfortably against you, he fastens a leash around her neck to prevent any accidents during transportation. You can feel her shaking with fear beneath your fingers as you begin driving home.

The sensation of contact and care, however gentle, brings Laura some comfort despite her fear. Her breathing gradually becomes calmer as she focuses on the rhythmic motions of your hand rubbing her scalp. This small gesture from you is a sign that perhaps things won't be as terrible as they were before; that there might still be room for hope in this desolate world full of suffering and pain.

Her eyes flutter closed as she feels your warm breath against her ear, the soft words washing over her like a balm after days of torment. A tiny, fragile smile tugs at the corners of her mouth in response, barely perceptible beneath her exhaustion and fear. This small acknowledgement is enough to make you feel that perhaps all your efforts to save this poor soul weren't in vain after all.

The sensation of her body pressed against yours and the warmth emanating from you comforts Laura even more. Her face turns into your chest, seeking reassurance and safety, as her arms slowly encircle your neck in a half-hearted hug. It's a small step towards trusting someone again, something that will take time and patience to build further. For now, you can be proud of this tiny victory in helping her regain some sense of self-worth and human connection.

The soothing sound of your voice vibrates through her ear, washing away the nightmares and fears that have plagued her for so long. Her breathing becomes steadier as she focuses on each word, savoring the feeling of being listened to, of not being utterly ignored and dismissed. It's a small step towards healing, but it goes a long way in restoring some sense of self-worth and dignity that was cruelly stolen from her during her time as a slave.
