"Sure," Nathael replied, unsure of the importance of this newfound friendship.
But she looked pleased.
Accepting the cotton swab and disinfectant from him, Maggie offered, "Lethelp." Nathael hesitated, but she had already taken them, so he simply turned away without a word.

Without hesitation, Nathael produced a dagger from somewhere and heated its blade with a lighter before handing it to Maggie, saying, "Use this." Maggie e was taken aback. "You have a knife? Didn't the orphanage staff search you when you arrived? This -is prohibited." Nathael didn't respond, showing no intention to explain.

But despite her anxiety, she remained steady.
After a moment, she carefully opened the sealed wound. Nathael remained vigilant behind her, but the pain was milder than he anticipated, almost making him question if she had started yet.

There was a wound on the side of his cheek, slender and streaked with blood. Maggie inexplicably raised her hand, wanting to move his hair aside.
Sensing her movement, Nathael looked up at her, but for sreason, he didn't stop her.
Their eyes met. Under the strands of hair, his pair of deep and narrow phoenix eyes were mysteriously attractive.
Maggie was stunned for a few seconds. The boy seemed like the most expensive and fragile sculpture, exuding an indescribable noble beauty. His features were sharp and defined, his eyes deep and intense, yet with a hint of indescribable laziness.
At that moment, Maggie didn't know what she was thinking.

"Aren't you going to sleep?" Nathael finally spoke after a while.

damaged No one had taught her, so Maggie learned by imitation. She first haphazardly stitched together the ё severely damaged area, but she failed a bit. The originally neat fabric ended up in a tangled mess around the chest area. Nathael tolerated it for a while, but he couldn't wear it like that.

Maggie blinked beside him, watching intently.

Maggie bit her lip, unable to help but say. "I wish you had chere earlier." Nathael looked up at her, seeing the regret in her eyes.
Maggie continued, “I had gotten a beautiful skirt before, but someone secretly ruined it. I tried to sew it for a long time, but I couldn't fix it. I threw it in the trash a few days ago." Maggie didn't understand why she had such a picky nature. Although the conditions in the orphanage were not good, she always couldn't stand old, dirty, and messy things.
