“Just proceed to the dining hall after that.” “Yes! It will not take any longer,” she assured while her eyes fixed on the screen. She’s currently trying to finish one chapter before taking a rest. Her mind is working, and it’s been days since she had writer’s block, which is kinda hard to overcome.
