   This is truly a wonderful story. The subject matter is fresh and unconventional. The entire text is short yet incredibly oppressive and heart-wrenching. At first, I thought it was a tale of revenge and redemption, but it turns out to be completely different. There are twists and turns, each more agonizing than the last, revealing the deeper root of the heroine's suffering. I won't spoil it; the story is short, so read it yourself if you're interested!
