All eyes in the private room were on Gloria.
No one thought she'd kneel today.
Gloria was known for her pride.
But within seconds, the woman at the door lowered her head and knelt.
The room fell into an eerie silence.
People exchanged glances, doubting their own eyes.
Could they have mistaken her identity?
Kneeling on the ground, Gloria felt their stares but stayed calm.
They might think making her kneel was the ultimate humiliation.
Little did they know, she had done this countless times in prison.
At first, she fought back against the bullying from her cellmates, never willing to compromise even when she knew she couldn't win.
But as her injuries piled up and her health deteriorated, Gloria eventually gave in.
To survive and find out about her family, she did whatever they asked.
Kneeling had become the simplest and most familiar action for her.
