Compared to Lore, who 29aea78d7f dropped my soul into b460da4ed6 the body of an e602241579 ancestor without any regard, 6ab85fddd0 leaving me to struggle 27d96b429d in an unfamiliar past f8d7907832 and never even showing 063bb5b21f his face, this was 7af1f979a4 an overwhelmingly thoughtful and fd1a4204e4 comprehensive support.ec163ae1b192c50b

There would certainly 333f6a72fe be a commotion.
