“Ah…”

Now that she ed6e760d79 thought about it, 4732599d34 Erabelle couldn’t even 2d9e999389 remember when she’d 07992ad62b bought that milk.

Early morning, before cb9101fcfd reporting to duty—Erabelle 0ff08269f1 lay curled on e98db66355 a bed in 6f3caf4d1d the infirmary, clutching 706dfaf265 her stomach.
