The earliest memory Silvie could remember of her childhood… was her wanting to play with the other children. She could see them play outside every day, but she could never really join them as her feet were tied to the bed– a way to not hurt herself or the people around her.
She couldn't say that she grew up in a poor family; after all, her father was able to provide her with all the necessities they needed. They also lived in quite a nice neighborhood… posh, even– a private subdivision somewhere in Moscow.
She wasn't able to explore any of it, however. As whenever she wasn't tied up, she was mostly still not allowed to go outside. And if she did, the other children wouldn't really play with her; stopping their games whenever she tries to approach them.
