Mathilda
Hana reminded, but I was not the gentle type.
His blood-soaked skin was thick, but the needle was sharp enough to pass through it. I kept stitching the edges of his torn skin together. The upper to lower, upper to lower, and upper to lower. Every stroke of the needle made him whine, and every time he would cry, Hana seemed swallowing a stone.
Good thing I made sure that the thread was enough in length, for the gash was actually longer than I expected. I securely closed the wound with a tight knot. And the moment I was done, the stone on Hana’s throat had gone.
