Bab 69: Shared pain

The breakfast atmosphere continued to be strange but Ravina was too tired to care. Even sitting felt like a difficult task. As usual, all of them left in hurry, leaving her behind with Aaron and Araminta. 

"I am going to the stable. Do you want to come with me?" Aaron asked.

Ravina nodded. 

"So what truly happened to your hands?" He asked as they walked to the stable. "I am sure you couldn't have cut both." 

"I have a strange habit where I peel my skin off." She told him. 

He frowned. "Why?" 

"I am not sure. It just feels good and I can't help it. It gives me relief." 

"From what?" He asked curiously. 

"From pain?" 

"But…" he was confused and she could understand him. 

"But that is painful too?" 

"Yes." 

She shrugged. "I can't explain it." 

He nodded disturbed. "Is there no other way for you to feel relief?" 

She thought back to her inventions. "No." She replied.
