Meanwhile, at Mammy Adonai's house, after everyone had left, Briar found herself soaking in a familiar tub. This time, bathing using different kinds of medicine.
Mammy Adonai was sitting just across from her, her expression a bit grave.
Briar looked at her and suddenly smiled, her smile not reaching the eyes and said, "Mammy, must you really worry over this matter?"
Mammy Adonai looked at Briar, who seemed to be so lax despite knowing what was at stake and furrowed her brows. "Child, you know that it's dangerous right?" she asked, her question full of mystery but a mystery that Briar could understand at one go.
Briar's eyes flashed coldly as she lifted her hand from the water and responded, "Mammy, we have always known since I was thirteen that it would never be the same again. If it was possible to save all this, do you think that I would want to do it?"
Mammy Adonai shook her head helplessly as a trace of loss flashed across her eyes.
