"C'mon. I have rags inside you can use for your nose." She said, stepping back inside and selecting something from her scraps box; a brown soft fabric with a pattern of yellow leaves, once used years ago for a shirt she had long forgotten.

"I've never seen you around before. What's your name?"
Jiao
And the bittersweet of every new defeat
Is I'm stronger than before
