So were you climbing on something?

Yeah, I've managed to get a chair from somewhere and drag it through and then I climbed on top.

So I had my phone and then I thought, what am I... And so I thought, I'm going to practice because if they make me strip...

And then I wanted to know I could look at them in the eyes and not be afraid and not be embarrassed or shamed.

Like, I will not be shamed, you know.

And so, yeah, I just practised.

Just, okay, take it off.

And I do acknowledge it sounds really ridiculous now, but at the time... It doesn't really sound ridiculous.

And then you do that and it's like, okay, I can do that now.

and then I worried because I could hear this, I thought it was someone, a girl that was in the other rooms, and I think she'd been taken off a Korean air flight or something like that, maybe she was a bit unbalanced, there's definitely something going on, and she was outside, I could hear, she was outside my room in the middle of the night, and I could hear her going, like that, and so I had my plug ready with the

prongs I thought if she comes in here I'm going to do her one like yeah I mean I'm not going to you know and then yeah and so every time I heard a car I'd run to the window look out the bathroom I thought a military car and then finally the dawn came and it was a lonely night and I freaked myself out as well because I

it's the first time I'd been locked, not free.

Yeah, not able to get out or to be trapped somewhere.

And so, and it freaked me out that I couldn't just walk out of the building and go to the shop.

And that really worried me.

I was, yeah, I was just, and so, but once I got over that, then it was just thinking, yeah, you just think,

Dark thoughts, really, when you're on your own like that.

But then you just get through it.

And then they came and picked me up the next morning.

I thought, please be taking me to the airport.
