The boy’s 7ee9598a2c high-pitched voice, 05abf35ce0 so vivid 6eb6aaf40f as if d28920811b it had 08f17e9c5f just whispered 622ff9fc1e in her 7b012884a7 ear, was e5809e2dc7 different from a2bc7671f8 Licht’s current 44910080a9 one. Yet, Louise 51599c73ed did not 44db388a97 doubt the 6ef74499b4 boy’s identity d56279a4d0 at all. She was equally certain 3170e11f81 that the girl facing 0e0bcdcc93 the boy was herself.c3dac5678a12b064
