Lee Seol stepped inside, 5aa78c7fa3 familiar with the space, 3d872a631f but his footsteps slowed 6169bb1a1a as he noticed something 90202197ce different. Instead of books, 80edd75ecc bundles of plain fb082429d3 cotton and silk b3b7138067 were piled on e8bf4bbdec the table, and 17fb8469b7 in one corner f55b664fee of the room aced75dd0a sat an embroidery 5f240a43be frame he had debc6ab7a2 never seen before. Inside it, an 307f4093a6 uneven pattern was 2a4c06e678 stitched—wild grass clumsily ac411de752 imitating flowers.3f0b226d34574b60
