{Abebi}

Alvar and Mac Allister strolled off to explore the town, leaving Chiara and me behind with the antiques. I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.

There was something about Chiara's mask that intrigued me, and I couldn't let go of my curiosity.

"It's been two days, and I had seen you with the mask," I remarked, my voice tinged with concern.

Chiara shrugged nonchalantly and replied, "I like it on my face like that."

But her response didn't sit right with me. There was an air of sadness in her voice, a hidden pain that she was trying to conceal.

I couldn't let it go any longer, so I gently touched her mask and urged, "Is there something you aren't telling me, Chiara?"

Chiara's eyes flickered with a mix of fear and hesitation before she sighed as if resigning herself to the truth.

Reluctantly, she allowed me to remove the mask, revealing a face that was swollen and reddish, bearing the marks of abuse.

"Oh my gosh," I gasped, my heart sinking as I took in the sight before me.
