The result was that they had no hope of escape Thehad bars and their heads could not even fit through them Still, Maki pulled herself up and was able to see as outside
”It looks like a back yard I think someone would notice if they were close by, oh, there is solared Oh, now he's turning up his nose…he left now… He showed 0 signs of wanting to helpdown from thefra her mouth
”Maybe he's jealous that you've stolen his hh!!”
Maki dropped down
”I didn't steal anything! And it's not affection!”
”Sorry”
