On the same night, another person was suffering from sleeplessness.
...
Su Man sat at her vanity, unbandaging her left hand, round and round.
As she was injured on her right hand already, unwrapping the small bandages round by round was proving difficult and she fumbled clumsily.
She gritted her teeth, finally released the last knot, and exposed her entire left arm to the air, then took a long, exhausted breath...
To prevent others from seeing the abnormality of her left hand, she had wrapped a multitude of bandages around it, as thick as if she were bundling her arm in a quilt.
Having finally removed them, the sweat and burden were also lifted, and she felt much lighter.
But her mood was anything but light.
Her mother's voice came from outside the door: "Manman, are you asleep yet? You haven't had dinner. I made noodles for you …"
"I'm going to sleep!" Su Man bit her lip, and quickly turned off the lamp, "You and Dad eat. I'm about to sleep!"
