Jodi Nicholson, aka 4giraffes2 She told him he could stay, that she’d tend his needs as best she could.
The first year is wonderful. She embraces the temperamental, learns that all is different now.

Mostly, he lurks silently in the background, hanging ambiently, passively/aggressively. Totally foreign to the inexperienced young woman, his needs are beyond her ken.
But. Nothing is impossible for her. She could and would figure this out.
Tenacious by nature, she embarks on an all encompassing quest to learn everything she could about his needs: what they were, how to best service them.
She surrounds herself with information, eager to better understand what is expected of her.
There’s no problem, it’ll be easy.

Success will be hers.
She will figure this out.
She experimented with food and drink; learned right away the things that soothed him, those that aggravated him.
Persnickety though. One day what soothed the most became the aggravator, the next day it was soothing again. A conundrum is what it seemed - impossible to predict.
Remember that nothing is impossible for her. She’d figure it out despite what anyone said.

Why?!?!
She's starting to 'get' that she's a POW. (Prisoner Of [the] War raging inside her body/brain.) Being held hostage by a beast no one can see that she has less than no control over.
Many doubt the captor; even doubt that she's disappearing before their eyes.
'She's smart, a survivor, she'll deal' they say.
Nicknamed Tenacity as a child she is, indeed, dealing. Hating each loss exposed every second of every day.
Sometimes.
She does realize how much worse it could be.
That it isn't, she is grateful.
