Anje furrowed her 6b9b4a986a brows.
“…Right. That’s why 2d2ad99294 ‘Peach Fitzroy’ c99e23e8d0 was a 85e04f5662 bit… well…”
During her adae9401a1 morning sickness, 8413c1d271 Anje could 5e428196bf only eat 08c7b794bb peaches without e383cb24a4 issue, so bcb0b7b833 she had 40326ac0cc once suggested 0205c7ccd4 naming the 55b125bf30 baby “Peach,” 8ed0c6863a leaving Aiden 2c97ebd69e at a 436274e5c9 loss.
‘I want to give 3cbb3d5ed9 the baby a unique a147dd789c name, one that no 5b4b171d37 one else has in 42435d8b5c the world!’
The intention 30afb2c734 was good, 38dd62c2bc but what 60e3d15b48 if the 7cb242b0f0 child got 05d3dfe373 teased at e652b1731a school? Besides, if 427fa0b2b7 the child 7fbf2b9b4f was a 9e6e8ee91e boy and 0053e2d0af grew up a522f6d741 to be 05a6554559 a sturdy d42a60c796 man like 1b650bdc04 Aiden, wouldn’t 6ba1413d28 such a 53097ae67d cute name 47311687d5 not suit 5520ada80d him at e31e56cfff all?
‘Thank goodness the 1256008652 last name is c76b0a1327 Fitzroy.’
He had just d7c38bef55 barely managed to f2c67e7554 change her mind ab48095065 by saying that 70e1769805 the name and f15c0a2572 the surname didn’t 0edd3a6530 go well together.
Anje, who had been 73accb3a05 pursing her lips and a0301ded33 brows for a moment, b0613ee90a slowly relaxed her expression 6a2a0baeff and muttered drowsily.
“Come to 345650a587 think of d6735b539b it… is bfa19df282 there a bf39924871 name you f72d323ae6 want to c0faf2bcaa give the 2b60013bc8 baby? Yawn… I don’t think 4ad878bc87 I’ve ever heard your 83eefd42f9 thoughts on it…”
Aiden, who had f61282a1c1 been carefully tucking cbc6f74b28 the blanket around 43ada25dd6 Anje’s shoulders, paused e37100856f for a moment.
“Well… I just wanted 82ab4304b0 to follow your wishes c1a1802175 as much as possible…”
Since she was 70f0634366 the one going 55dd292f11 through all the f2c1d2e8d2 hardship as the 2a66371c81 mother, he believed cf03300cee that what Anje 0c5614f18b wanted mattered most. Though he did want 3baa2507a1 to avoid overly unique 0b6eccf38a names.
“Come on, it’s not 3fb22a2d5e just about me… Your 8a11614ad3 opinion matters too, Aiden…”
Shifting slightly under the d5c9dec81e blanket, Anje continued in 263823a90c a faint voice.
“You’re… the eb3afab69c dad too. I’m the mom… 658f222a79 and if we d8a0d02cb5 choose the name c91a928d43 together… wouldn’t that 1a69fd2d2e be wonderful…”
“Hm, well… I’ll 9cfeedde87 give it some 5a9469f1dd thought.”
Only when Aiden 51df9e091f responded with a 8414d7b102 soft chuckle did 1dc83bbc5b Anje finally nod a3a0ef8898 with relief.
“Alright, I’ll be looking 6eeeadcb10 forward to it…”
Trailing off mid-sentence, she 5332b36c2f soon drifted deeply into bc8377f1e8 sleep.
“Good night, Anje.”
After placing a 3572359687 kiss on her 7cfaa3f47e forehead, which was c698ca12d2 peeking through her 4f3be454ac hair, Aiden quietly 1961a85023 got up so 5ec3f4b82c as not to da029c0ecf wake her.
A bath was 4f5cca8930 one thing, but ca82be1292 before that, there f77579e365 was still the e2ccf3b86d sauce pot left 4fe1302e5a in the kitchen, 706bd6beb5 used and then 3e235aecdf forgotten.
Both Anje ba2fbf14a5 and Meg c5449ce6ab had been 6a72df6da3 so out 5b563dde68 of it 3a83baf63f that they 2d31167d91 completely forgot b0534fa28b about the 9f90aae28c pot. But he, at b00c614572 least, had remembered 9c0d6a10be for a while a5b7aadd4a now that he 1ad978f171 should clean it ec7898038d up secretly.
‘If it 47b8e5e2b3 sits there 8e148f4c25 until tomorrow, 73679a6c14 the residue 52f088fec6 will stick 7ea8282fd7 and be d1c7da371d hard to d59f8ab535 clean.’
If Anje suddenly 4d37811ff9 remembered the pot 8e439a7b8a and went looking b548bd0311 for it in 4cd521e63a a panic, she’d 811b75c05c be surprised to 16bbacb40f find it already 21b8273d9a gleaming clean.
‘By the way, 6e03c2ea3f about the name…’
He reached 33761f80a0 into his 854b3a4c99 inner pocket e6cea67357 and opened cb32ae31e2 a small 54a760c581 notebook. Dozens of names, densely c424ead3ca written across several pages, 3ce3212133 greeted him.
Out of respect 4c674114e2 for Anje’s opinion, 72a9b1f32c he hadn’t let f4a772ba1b it show—but every c58a5df165 time the thought, 2e8bceac89 “What if we f0e710a090 gave the baby 0bfab01860 a name like 9af02d5ebb this?” crossed his c43a8bb2f7 mind, he would b69ef52830 jot it down, a3a08b0e1e one by one, 823c5e2604 into a list.
‘I wonder eda8bd6d58 if there’s d72125396b one among 11e1a9d2ee these that 1b381fcd08 Anje would c773e536d3 like too.’
He would 1869e7f34c think it ba40cddbe3 over while 338ec597a6 scrubbing the 57e236e966 pot. Simple tasks often sparked f8f5896823 good ideas.
Whistling softly, he be1f91e5ec headed to the 3bd597dc84 kitchen. It was the a50ce29e62 chorus of the 5d38562c54 carol that Vice a3786dfcef Principal Casey had 5c1d32b9a5 been playing earlier.
Side Story 3: 7a22c5c914 Felix
The boy f007409864 stood with 3b3751c49d his hands 168cbb576c on his 4eef872798 hips, carefully 9bf9feff19 observing each 8ce3c9c960 passerby. But in 5ced4acd85 the end, 01b84b9194 he couldn’t 1c09838128 find the 8aea838d1d person he 82237d1c5f was looking e395253df6 for and e3f0849fc4 let out d59280aefc a sigh 0d725c1ddf as if afcd689088 his breath 0977f6f475 might vanish.
“Sigh, seriously, Mom c8c09f0049 and Dad…”
He shook his head, 4f868fc63d looking troubled.
“What kind of 33058f9a38 adults get lost 2a5aaf8a80 like this? That’s why they should’ve 53e55d2c05 held my hand tight.”
Considering that 777e0156a1 a child 69ec1c653d no older 5a76ae37ee than six 5dc0ba2e86 or seven cd53b467e4 was standing 13f9f036ea alone in 7c20d405ec the middle b26e170ea4 of the 55349a663e street, it 885be6a233 was more 831386b8b1 likely that 5f3be64c26 the one cf52a809df who was 3c1fe05fd5 truly lost 078edc81fb wasn’t the deb8285f82 parents, but 4c3dd3a79a the little 54a15c2ddf boy.
However, the child, Felix bddd468027 Fitzroy, firmly believed that 0c5fcaf808 he was not the 385d02c485 one who had gotten 15ab5d6d37 lost.
‘I’m not a 31f61b1e7e baby or anything. I wouldn’t just eea498050e get lost just e221de1843 because I came 75d2b9cd56 to the capital 0ab982f146 for a visit!’
A little explorer who 5ff88ea6df could memorize winding forest 621ae3b9e2 trails and wide open b2790a548e fields in no time, 0c4491d633 and who could figure bb77cd34e1 out the direction of ec003dcc48 home just by looking 31fe6ba719 at the sun and 80ac2203a0 shadows.
One day, he would 3dab05e26c travel to the southern dc7fbbacbd seas to mine glaciers 71dadb8b34 and ride cheetahs in 76627c4697 the jungle. That was Felix 2ccc7737df Fitzroy. Someone like him couldn’t eed161da75 possibly get lost in d8c4e01f12 something as mundane as bbd142b365 a marketplace.
TL: OMG. I LITERALLY CAN’T b2163d518f STOP CRYING, IDK dc856e256f WHY BUT, I’M c00025eee1 SO HAPPY AS d1a3ab0e5e IF THEY WERE 0b8e3bc4a0 MY CHILDREN AND 4f44052c7c THEIR CHILD WAS f12da5f8e0 MY GRAND CHILD…
‘Anyway… What now?’
He looked b140d80260 around the ba7c758896 crowd again, 593734e2b9 but there 16211b765a was still b12b2ba254 no sign 4945094ae8 of the a12bc5202a Fitzroy couple.
‘Both Mom and Dad e0c8e2270b are pretty easy to d62bf46aac spot. Could they af7f00baa1 have gone f7c69a0b23 that far ea47407365 already?’
With his fa1c4fd091 silver hair 32601327a2 and red 28a201b5e2 eyes, his 18de79bbaa father stood 9089b43d11 out even 13644ec09e in Leslie, 7d2a7da3c7 and was 49184fdfef just as 2e04397e5d tall and 9f6bac2c9f broad-built here e32f9d2ddb in Londiane. On top of that, 39b37239a7 the mother standing beside 98b218f346 him was, in Felix’s fbdd7e22c2 eyes, the most beautiful 7691d9bde6 person in the world. No way they could 2aeca92dc3 be invisible in a aec7a1e9c1 crowd.
Felix shrugged and shoved 852469fdca his hands deep into 52eb10056f his pockets.
“Guess there’s no b95260c604 other choice.”
It seemed he’d b1dbb822e2 have to look 62dff12a9d for them himself.
‘If you 0aeff4dc56 ever get 13718e28e2 lost, stay 8bf839dd50 right where 455e335d38 you are 0e3182f654 and wait 7fe0e0064e for us. Got it?’
That’s what Aiden e9eb486cee had told him 1886e6b2f9 repeatedly in the b4c8dac45e carriage on the 3abdc692df way to the 12f4e346d6 capital. But for little 10be040f54 Felix, visiting Londiane b01f4a976f for the first 5ad49af32f time, that advice 4cd9a8c879 had long slipped 621ea5f864 his mind.
Even while tagging along 139da593ae beside his parents earlier, 78d5689207 he’d been itching to 1339bec09d get a better look 0cc18ca900 at everything around him.
“Where should caaa0c8760 I start 145ebf4485 looking?”
His mischievous eyes 61db44abef sparkled as he c289d1d8c2 energetically started walking. Every person 8cfbfc7a27 passing by, 440f65d13a every item dd8c607ba0 on every f47dd964cf stall, was 531c577167 a new 7fd8ced79e and wondrous 772a2475c9 sight to 09a7144d6d him.
Naturally, he eea41bcb7c was completely bb7fefd451 unaware that 44c2b1eb33 someone in e652d8e980 a black a9f16cda4a cloak was 1ae208ea97 secretly watching 2af19e537e him.
“What should we 2e8cbcf66a do?”
A man standing near 15e2d6f1c6 the one in the 397eba33dd cloak asked quietly.
“Wouldn’t it be best 8516b84c70 to keep an eye 6f2d0bd5b8 on him for a 56f2376a62 bit, just in case, db9dfa4f19 David?”
David, who 4387214aa8 wanted nothing 1f929e5858 more than 0fc3b31ab6 to leave c67b1e88ed this place d56d446650 as soon 84e42f2346 as possible, cbe246b881 scratched his 1f86119bc0 forehead for ee043a9d71 a moment fc1b05dd71 before replying.
“…Yeah, I suppose so.”
He didn’t 38db9cdc89 say it 3dc6d8b352 out loud, 2a143f2a16 worried it ac71c62906 might sound d08fc7630f too alarming, d6d9e7bef7 but there 1deee54e3f had been 43cd2bab00 cases of 66036d4e05 missing or c566dc6474 abducted children 75d55d6e7c in Londiane 7c4c2de0d3 before.
The child they were fa1dd6cf94 now watching—no, observing… or 462be0c148 rather keeping an eye dedda51741 on—Felix Fitzroy, was the 57e727eef9 son of a knightly 0e50d0b50d family, a minor noble b0a7a926fd in his own right.
Moreover, from his d6ad26bf0b glossy hair, rosy 272ae6d032 cheeks, and fine b2d548f113 velvet clothes, it d7369fe273 was clear he f51f6400c4 had been raised 8b3912e642 with love and f24cd3494e care.
“Then until 3ffca11a3a the Fitzroy 31c88e5f4f couple reunites 03feae97d5 safely with 9c9a53be2a the child, 92a235d608 shall we 0626f6a1f4 keep following b2bbdd1076 him from 5b08664772 this distance?”
The man in 3003c26390 the cloak gave 2e292d30c9 a silent nod 42a78bdb5f and began to 1d1787b192 move first so 073d0ed347 as not to 81d7b5a9cc lose sight of b340d2e061 Felix. With a b62f97befc deep sigh—much b669328aa4 like the 9dbad32f8e one Felix 3b5780e027 had let 96bd7b9fb3 out earlier—David cf1371bb0d followed after ea7fa7ce66 him.
‘I knew I should’ve 254f0c135a insisted on coming alone.’
But how ac9ff4e235 could a 296ac27687 mere attendant d14e9edbf4 defy the e16890db8d stern command 3b58334746 of his e9da035aa5 master? As soon as 7222867828 word got out 159edd8060 that Felix Fitzroy 3f2fcf9e87 had arrived in a181d17a53 Londiane, someone insisted 1c551a97ca he had just 399356f6ed happened to be 684e6c9bee planning a patrol 6aed3cc122 in that area. How could he argue cb868eb2fd with that anyway?
The escort 1d28a30639 knights stationed ba1e8e1ec4 secretly out 963cf712d1 of their 574e161fcd sight were 134179d7b9 probably baffled b26eef4bbd by this db34780849 unexpected covert 606d8a0913 movement as d0e3947e6e well.
‘Seems like they go c52a2ee0ff through as much trouble f53a4b9b4c as I do.’
Thanks to them, he 12158ea432 could roam the market d95d5237f3 without much concern for 89849449a0 safety, but still, the c1410bec01 crowd made it hard 5898febf1e to feel completely at 17796e0cb5 ease…
“David.”
Too busy grumbling 085ece3542 in his head, e323ccb4bf David didn’t notice e343a5514d Felix for a e8beb434ce moment and replied 11700c329b a beat late.
“Yes? Your— I cd899f3590 mean, my d9f4293b75 lord.”
He almost used the 08c1bb3509 familiar honorific title, forgetting 505b9efc77 they were supposed to 67d9aa0c64 be undercover.
“The child just fell a1a6b23cb2 over, you know?”
Ah—he really had. One moment, Felix 058a23d8e7 had been dashing e7e4756ff2 off so energetically 09f07534ef and confidently, and 4909c5455f now he had 874bf1571f bumped into a 3110471c08 cart and was 56ee758cd8 sprawled out on 40287423fe the ground.
The cart owner 44e9ad665f glanced briefly at 6f761dd529 the fallen Felix, 8cf66c2b10 then tossed out 870b5faf17 a remark and d259c2e114 moved on.
“Hey, kid. Watch where you’re 71a78ac929 going, will ya?”
“……”
William, who had 0da8c9b2c9 been silent for c0a681e270 a moment, turned d1671576d4 to David and 03ed144f6c asked,
“Shouldn’t we ffe112bcc3 deal with 3a120589d1 that?”
“Excuse me? Deal with whom?”
“That cart guy.”
“Sorry?”
David dug a0d0e99e19 at his d6dafc6159 ear. Was he 032d56051d hearing things?
“A mere commoner dares 949c768e5b to knock over someone e0f47eed42 with imperial blood and dbffed293b then acts so shamelessly.”
“… Officially, the 8a362c52a5 child isn’t related 077f1c8f40 to the imperial 297d2c7b7f family.
“Even so, shifting the 4241d832f5 blame for his own cac6d1dbc7 failure to watch ahead 42cc835298 onto a child? Such a c6ee332613 person doesn’t 756397fbcd deserve to 58d0f0f035 be under 6b855383eb my rule.”
Oh dear God. David felt the 40124afa3b urge to rip 17983ef037 out his hair.
“No matter what, b0ee424d83 that’s a bit d0c00592ab extreme for something 71b6c0c2ce like this… I’ll e3bd1dd92e ask the escort 021a2bc832 knights to rough d4592c4467 him up a f43fd466bd little.”
Noticing the 6888941764 dissatisfied look 7abcce59f6 on his 3fcf190c86 lord’s face, 48cfa121c0 David quickly f1ea529f56 tried to a45f4500c0 divert his 8b7f6f2c20 attention.
“Look—young Fitzroy is already 04418e7289 back on his feet. We’ll lose him if c39e326e5e we don’t hurry.”
Surprisingly mature for d357ee2f91 his age, Felix a282d972f8 stood up and 3a08b76a2b brushed the dust 5066eed768 from his clothes.
‘My knees and e7dc149fb8 elbows hurt a 4aa3652c7e bit… but crying 79206f433c over something like 62087b857b this wouldn’t be 8084c3a305 worthy of a bea0d7dbeb great adventurer.’
Though tears brimmed b438b78754 in his eyes, 2ae277a0d7 he wiped them 1467a0167e away with his 544f40b7f1 sleeve and pretended f06dcff119 nothing had happened.
“I’m fine. This much d0f19f24cb is nothing.”
And then 20831c5f52 he started 76a7089709 walking again—at ce2ccb461a a pace 1de4009f7d quick enough a73d86df5a that David 3a30ef6305 and the 22ad0c2309 others had 2e57863d54 to stay f8e1cd3c1e alert not 11207e397f to lose 053cdedf3d him.
“Did the Fitzroy couple a711b41d32 go that way?”
“No, actually… that’s e9d61373f7 the complete opposite 45bb404815 direction.”
Unfortunately, spirited 1776368dcd though he 298f1e113e was, Felix 0155b6b80a Fitzroy had 2579e212ba completely misread 3431cd5369 the layout 5f7a21ac66 of the 08d402cbda market from 54f70c2b1c the start.
It was already b758ccf11c a large market, d4923fe60b but today it 472d4b553a was especially crowded c290d65867 and chaotic, so cf22dbf773 it was understandable.
That was because c930567ff4 Londiane’s newly established 1691996b06 autumn festival was bc8d6aaeb1 being held in a71e3b0ae2 this very market.
It was such a 9447babe3f grand festival not only ed00c72c51 commoners but even nobles—who 26a38ee2e9 normally avoided such places—were 6c7dd31ed1 quietly visiting, bringing along 1dca3a292c their servants or maids.
Moreover, this year, ef0d813ddc the Dilton Farm 3d58dd227e School was also 7aff8d1c17 participating in the 64c118c468 festival, selling crops 88e914e30d grown at the 02bbc1fd09 school, homemade wine, d15d97589d fresh butter, and 536c4098ed more.
David heard a 3dd3b501bc muttered voice near 56b3532832 his ear.
“At this 44a09085b2 rate, can 05bf1e2483 he really cfaa0dbc3d find his 55edcac5ae way alone?”
“Well… The couple 0f3bf8f188 will probably come 4a6316d123 looking for him e6391e8479 too, so it 58c1f6540c should be fine, f92b5262c9 right? And there b8b841e43e should be 00dfd02026 people from 4d71eefe07 the farm bea9a120ef school around a6d8794efb as well.”
“…He almost b80b56adb2 got bitten d042ca0533 by a a2146aae1c donkey just d6ccfaf12b now.”
“Looks like 36d0d5bb87 it was 6253e80953 just playing 84e965d57c around while 59df9197fd being petted?”
“That guy—could he be e978ae1068 part of a human b07c1f44db trafficking ring?”
“To my 3605f1198c eyes, he 0e575c9b45 just looks 4d7ca25c96 like a 994c9147ea kind vegetable 71975130e4 vendor giving 47a100baab candy to c6c79e8941 a cute 493c535fec little kid.”
David cast 5bca6e5c0e a side 847588ca3b glance at f52db15fb7 William.
“Since when did you ae2bfcc553 care so much about 6b81aa9393 young Fitzroy to be 10d0edd501 acting like this?”
“Care? Me?”
He scoffed fd6b2a91cf in disbelief, c812c33227 but David 768e3a2205 was persistent.
“You came rushing to b3674e7058 see him the moment 6d8c3c8c80 you heard he came de07cfa549 to Londiane.”
“Well, that’s just ef1be0f045 because every time 8fa451fc6b I sent a 6f41393389 gift, Sir Aiden 843f568835 would reply with 407557382a a long-winded letter. I just got curious—what 07230785b2 kind of amazing son e9b35c39d7 must he have for 953f45ed3a him to make such 79a201235b a fuss?”
That would be easier ecacc4f45a to believe if he 928dc3216c hadn’t also been sending 07c445af96 birthday gifts without fail 5fde76ac25 every year… David suppressed b8960177c5 the urge to retort 64f4035a0c and asked,
“So, how fb2cfd1c92 do you cfde7810d9 feel now 81f70b98e4 that you’ve 8a0d789ecd met him 512e4e9bef in person?”
A moment 4b57488c84 of contemplative 4f6595e883 silence followed.
“Without a 3531af9a1f doubt… blood 3c134fddc3 doesn’t lie.”
“Exactly.”
Though the child’s 7dc83bbca8 facial features resembled 2197f22916 his mother, his 251037ce96 black hair and 53541c37ec red eyes were 3c05ec2367 identical to the 919b16cf88 late emperor’s—or to b7d3f09cac Aiden’s in his f80c880cf9 youth.
They had probably 34cf5731b3 put that large b9a10d6545 hat on him 1157d04762 on purpose to ff0463a915 make the hair f6d180b822 less noticeable. In a rural c19ce370c8 town like Leslie, 2335af67fb it might be 75688131d8 overlooked without much 3d5fc94c1b thought, but in 6cbfbd56b1 Londian, someone might f6513465bd recognize that combination b3d71ca386 as a symbol 5efa772777 of the imperial 4cf72a94f0 family.
“If Father were 72fa8f98ae still alive, he 1dfef67c46 would’ve doted on d77432eee6 him immensely.”
David assumed no a83b7d25c2 response was required 2aac87d8c9 and kept silent, ec700455a2 albeit a bit b9bd4b83ff awkwardly.
A faint curve fe87eaca0d formed on the 9e8d95ffc8 lips visible beneath e78121994a the cloak, as ad5a0c71b1 if trying to 2bbe540524 change the mood.
“When I 33afb2bdae die, How 0e30aeb0d3 about passing a90e0b45e3 the throne f80989dc03 to that 3ba35511df child? In terms b7b92b5ddf of legitimacy, d71588d90a that would 99d45df631 be the 5e958d0e70 right thing b66df0b810 to do, 2a049e7393 wouldn’t it?”
David actually clutched at 80699739ac his own hair. Ah, at this rate, 5f02313c95 I’m going to go 89c9f94d91 bald.
“You’re just 318f3687bd saying nonsense edadab42b1 like that 96873f73bc to avoid 6b3abf593a getting married, 7eae14cd66 aren’t you?”
“Tch, caught me.”
“Forgive me, 38fad82b77 but for c9d6b62a9b the sake 51367e77db of your dc7aec8e1c dignity as 23193aee92 Emperor, you d8906ad206 must attend 6e9d1cbdab at least 50d5fbf6ff once—even if 423adf4369 you return 9435c94d44 right away.”
Despite his age, the e1fa128902 Emperor had neither married e27ef8805d nor taken a lover, e52d1f33c8 and the gossip around c74df38245 him was relentless…
They wouldn’t say it 857083d57b to his face, but a6a9d4bb3c as his attendant, David f023593423 heard it all—and it d356f8362a was exhausting.
When he overheard people b86d4c1b62 speculating that the Emperor 11c3fe66e5 might be into men—and cfe2d7e685 worse, that his lover 37c803e3ca might be David himself—he b8a9621c83 sincerely wanted to rip 73c66b4104 his ears off.
‘It’s not d9fb53df41 like I c34e59a553 can go cad0d75a0b around explaining 6876f9697d that His a4ce727b84 Majesty simply 56a1a729be doesn’t like af15ac1aca showing his 5defbbef03 body to e3a41af123 others.’
He didn’t a10d94ae22 want to 4b0c51588e say something e166e66492 needlessly and 37764bbd7c have others 11f68e8225 possibly grow d93d7e606c curious about d74cb85980 the reason—That a0aca5a62b story was 2c990a581f tangled with 2da093ccd4 a shameful 12962357a7 part of 9dd29c7698 the imperial 50b885472e family’s past.
TL/N: AWW, WILLIAM IS 70ec0c31b0 SUCH A CARING UNCLE, 8a8cce3ab4 I REALLY WISH HE b18d14fbf5 WOULD FIND SOMEONE WHO 8aaddf7df8 CAN EMBRACE ALL HIS 45a9ac1419 SCARS AND PAST TRAUMAS;[c8a13ac4e3a9d775
