Because he was 8e64422eef born with a f31fd70689 different appearance from 2382b3fbb0 others, Evan suffered 4f047e6428 contempt, scorn, and 4ba6c55a52 abuse from his 867abda5e9 family and others c1ce820205 since childhood, leading 8d54c1921f a difficult life 85bec76768 from a young 5078ba6020 age.06e192510bc1a881

However, miraculously, Evan did 58e333756a not die. When he opened daacdbb2a1 his eyes again, 95be3e1c91 he had returned 6b37881f98 to the day 935394f136 he was pushed 249b8b3e22 down to his dd37eb313e death.0c07dd2dfd439bd9

“If it were an axe or a sharp sword, you’d have to strike from above to slit properly. Attacking from that angle and below, it’s impossible to cut so cleanly. The muscles might be slit, but the bone would block it, so you’d need to strike two or three more times.”d66da3d31c8cda31
