Chapter 153 – The Luna Is Dead

• Ultimately, Marelva was sentenced to five years for forgery and rape.
• Hearing the judge's verdict, she screamed at the top of her lungs and dropped to the floor in misery. Court officials rushed to call an ambulance to escort her to the prison infirmary, where she would stay till it was time to give birth. I felt a pang of pity for the children; to have a mother like Marelva was quite a disadvantage.
• Johnston and I walked out of the courtroom, both relieved by the outcome.
