"Is that how her core broke?"
"Yeah… and it was because my stupid father lashed out way too hard and hit her with a belt infused with magic. If it wasn't for my medical attention, she would have died right then and there."
"That's fucking brutal…"
"I'm well aware of that…. And so, I took her and ran away after that. Our parents didn't even try to find us, as I'm sure they just assumed we were dead. Also, I'm pretty sure they didn't care. They didn't really care about me either, but Petra drew the short end of the stick… so yeah. And then, Amelia found us, and we were safe. She gave us some medicine and even got us to get vaccines which we had been neglected of… and now we're here."
