So of course I never told anyone this while I was still alive; Misha was the only person I even hinted it at, and he didn't know how bad it really was. Which is just as well; that kind of thing has this terrible habit of crippling one politically. And it's really not appropriate dinnertime conversation, or something you'd let slip over drinks, so most of my nearest and dearest never even heard about those three missing years.
It's one of my secrets that even Xiang, as obsessed as he was, never, ever learned.
