Lea witnesses her mother's rape and murder by her father as a child and because of it speaks very little and writes poems to her mother. Lea then grows up with foster parents in a different part of Slovakia. Strehlow buys Lea, now aged 21, from her foster father and imprisons her in a castle in Germany, using the same tools Lea's father used to control Lea as a child and to kill Lea's mother. As Strehlow learns more of Lea's past, he permits her to continue writing to her mother. Lea dies of a stroke within a year of living with Strehlow.

gollark: I don't disagree that in practice you're probably fine using popular cryptographic stuff, I just don't like people wrongly saying that things are "mathematically proven".
gollark: Fascinating.
gollark: Obviously nobody has publicly disclosed how to break them (except with quantum computers), but that doesn't mean it's not possible, and the NSA hires a lot of mathematicians.
gollark: There aren't actually any mathematical proofs that breaking RSA and AES and whatever actually requires a really large amount of operations.
gollark: C does not have compile-time detection of such mistakes, so that's tricky.
