Whenever I couldnt fly off, I put on a mask to hide from it. After&after what happened on Mobius, I couldnt resort to that at all. I tried to stop feeling anything and every

Hope you enjoy this for a while, and fingers crossed I could get the latest page of "Maria's First Christmas" soon, hopefully within next week.
