Sunny felt hands tugging her under as she felt the tips of their claws digging into her legs. Sunny's heart raced with fear as she struggled to break free from the grip of the unknown. Panic consumed her as she desperately fought against the force pulling her deeper into the water. With each passing moment, Sunny's strength waned, and the realization of her dire situation sank in.

Alfred would send all sorts of gifts before holidays, and Bella would always reply, "Thank you, Daddy." Sometimes, she would share a sentence or two about her school. Paula visited us in Harlock several times. The first time she arrived, Bella was downstairs learning to ride a bike. The moment she saw Paula, she slammed on the brakes and sprinted forward to throw her arms around Paula. Paula traced the faded scar on her forehead as tears slid down the corners of her eyes.

I’m also afraid of bad karma and nightmares. You obviously overestimate my mental strength.”
