Iron & Silk — Episode 10

From that day on, Leo became my little shadow. Luca said it would be at most one month. Yet two months went by, and he had not returned. His life was swallowed up by gunfire, blood, and constant peril.

Back at the estate, it was just Leo and me. All I wanted was for him to eat and rest. I also wanted, slowly, to pull back the Nora that had once broken herself. Little heroes don't give up.

I stuck to my medication and sleep schedule. I gave up punishing my body through food. And I ceased loathing myself for taking even one extra mouthful. Thank you.
