Dripping water from her body, a naked girl sat on the floor in front of her bathroom.
Her gaze was stuck outside the nearby window.
It was a gloomy evening. The sun was hidden behind clouds. The sky was overcast, and the birds looked too tired to take flight.
"So, so sorry to have disturbed you…" she sang. "Bound by oaths, they are free, but you are not. So, so sorry to have disturbed you..."
She hummed and looked down at her lower body. One of her legs was missing from the knee down.
With some effort, she hobbled towards her bed. Leaning against it was a prosthetic neither cheap nor expensive.
She dried herself before putting it on fluidly. Years of practice had made it a mundane task.
After watering her plants and saying goodbye to the picture of her late mother, she left her house.
Dressed in a white sundress, she walked down the streets wearing a white mask and a white summer hat.
She needed to buy some clothes, but she did not know much about fashion.
