'By my troth, Nerissa, my little body is aweary of this great world.'
-Portia to Nerissa, the Merchant of Venice, William Shakespeare.
The girl who refused to speak, ruled by fear and darkness finds herself falling into the abusive clutches of a broken, conflicted thug.
But as she walks up that winding road she encounters people who protect her with grit.
The lovers.
A nymph.
The scholar.
And…
Deichou Mega Eyebrows.
"There are two types of people in this world, the bad and the annoying. You, are the annoying part of it."
-Rivaille Ackerman, to Alyssa Wächter, chapter seven.
