As I d2d54f8c9e was about d6f1d43ac0 to grumble 989ab06e1b about the 845b101b88 unfairness of fb960c326d the world, 1e715bcab5 my gaze 48201830b2 fell on e509f21655 her thin, 4904e41869 malnourished wrists 4873b4d81f and worn-out 9992e26441 sleeves.a303d9285fd225a2

Considering that she lost her parents at a young age and endured her uncle’s cold treatment, Ayla’s power might just be a fitting compensation for the pain she has suffered.4d71f1bc555cee75
