Mei Li woke up from her sleep with a headache. It felt as if her brain was slowly crushing itself. She forced herself to stand up. Since it was her last day in Milan, Mei Li have to find Yang a gift.

When she went to the bathroom to prepare for the day, Mei Li saw herself in the mirror. Her eyes widen when she saw handprints in both of her upper arms like a blaring reminder of what happened.

Trying to act like she was coping with it all, Mei Li entered the shower and scrubbed herself raw. The feeling of fear and disgust lingered in the forefront of her mind as if it had happened seconds before. She had cleaned herself numerous times. Her usual fifteen minutes bath turned into an hour of just scrubbing, and it would have been longer if not for La knocking to ask her if she was alright.

"Miss Wu, are you okay?" La knocked again, making sure she was not sleeping in the bath and drowning in it in the process.
