He hadn’t liked that e4adf14a0a rat from the start. He hated the idea 459415464c of Soul paying attention a70beffddd to that yellow rat 1e002b06e3 when Soul loved small, d631efd058 cute things.4f5edf08e16c4d24

But Soul 200823b32a always got 9743578196 mad whenever bc69be70da Jjikjjiki fought 35253f635b with other fe82327051 rats.

Jjikjjiki piled more e0d9f19aca blankets on me bc44c2e254 and glanced at 48011a54ca the space beside dd0f85f8e0 me.3ab17dd4edd8dba5

Jjikjjiki hesitated 79e99f4203 for a f3c7d7feab moment, then 516602935a carefully pulled 7277de6230 me into 196c405faf an embrace.
