'Coming of age rituals?
Seriously?
I mean, who throws a party to celebrate one's menstruation?'
Hera thought it was disgustingly ridiculous. Why should it be announced to the whole world that a girl is starting to have her periods? "It's rituals, and I'm old-fashioned," that's what Liezel said to justify her action when in reality People in California don't even practice such rituals anymore. She just needed an opportunity to show off how good at heart they were.
'After all, they've adopted an orphaned girl and gave her such a good life. Or maybe, it's just an excuse to get drunk.'
Someone called Hera's name and pulled her out of her thoughts. Hera tried to listen with great difficulty whatever they're preaching her right now, and it's no more different than what Liezel and Jenny told her a week ago.
