“If you don’t mind, can you tell us about Mina?” Thiago jumps in. He seems to always know when to do exactly that, when I’m too overwhelmed by my own situation that I can’t say a thing.
“Mina, mina,” Sister Margret echoes. “I don’t know much about her because she was a quiet girl when I first met her. She was young but she looked as if the light had been stolen from her, and she couldn’t do anything to help herself.” I don’t know if it’s the somber expression on sister Margaret’s face or her words that twists my stomach uncomfortably. From the corner of my eyes Thiago sits upright, adjusting his suit.
