"I told you already that Aral and I met when we were on opposite sides of a war. He was the first person to capture me; the second... was less pleasant. And when I got out of that alive and found my way back home, they absolutely refused to believe that the Barrayarans hadn't edited my memories, just because I wasn't inclined to share the details of exactly which broken bones had happened exactly when and how. Combine that with my affection for Aral, who had... something of a sinister reputation, and some bright light among the military psych people evolved a theory that I was an unwitting mole of some kind. When I withdrew consent for her therapy, she took that as confirmation that she was on the right track. I had to get offplanet in a hell of a hurry to escape being peeled apart in search of secrets that weren't there."
