° Dai An lost track of time. How many hours, days, weeks, or years have passed? She didn't know.
° Her heart, hard as stone, after having shrunk to dodge anguish, finally softened. It was swelling and dissolving, slowly but unavoidably… She eventually indulged herself in self-pity.
° At times she wanted to disappear—to truly disappear—to dissolve into sea foam upon the ocean waves and vanish from the world.
° When she thought she was about to cry again, the warden timely strode inside her cage to continue 'filling' up the cauldron below with her blood. Her internal bleeding was in no way heavy enough to push itself through her skin. It would take decades, no, centuries until she would get her salvation.
