Chapter 23

• It seems that the words of the three girls who have recently entered Evangeline's life are true. Brina is a cruel stepmother. I don't know how many times Evangeline has fallen, walked against Brina's will, and little—goodness gracious—only a little bit has Evangeline lowered her hands, she was given a stern warning.
• The cane that Brina carried along with her during Evangeline's training sessions had hit her hands and feet countless times. No. Not to be hit as a form of warning, but the tip of the cane had a dye that immediately stuck to Evangeline's skin. Signaling so many mistakes she had made.
• “Once again, Eva.” Brina pointed to the end of the branching catwalk in front of her. The branches also formed other angles connected to each other. So once around practicing walking there, Evangeline stopped several times right at the intersection. Making some standard poses as Brina directed.
