CONTENT WARNING - Child endangerment and abuse
Rin had never liked being alone.
But then, she was a Lyrin, and the thing that Lyrin valued above absolutely anything else was being together with other Lyrin. She hadn't seen another person, let alone another Lyrin, for days that felt like years.

That's what happened to little girls who lost their supplies. To little girls who twig the Guard on to their operation.
Rid had apologised, of course. She had apologised for losing the merchandise a lot. She had begged and pleaded for the big men to stop hitting her, but they never ever did.
