"Good girl, Ella, we rest now."
Held securely in his arms, Ella gradually closed her eyes amidst her tears and fuss…
…
…
The sky.
Slowly revealed a sliver of dawn.
Inside the factory dormitory.
A single room.
Two little ones, one from the south and one from the north, somehow drifted closer together in their sleep.
Their small heads touched like two little conches.
Their hands, however, formed an odd sight—
This made them both start with surprise as they gradually woke up!
Especially little mosquito.
But.
It was too awkward.
So awkward that they did not say a word, understanding each other without speaking.
As if they understood everything…
Fortunately, at this moment, the supervisor opened their room door from outside and shouted, "Time to get up! Get out there and work!"
They each took their washing essentials and headed to the washroom, one after the other, while the next room over was noisy and chaotic, filled with crying and shouting, an utter mess.
