“Stuff like that can lead to psychosis.” “On the contrary, it is excellent quality. One can only rejoice.” “A woman, buried in papers, forgets that she is a woman. And when she forgets about it, she disappears as a person! Bagila!” The girl didn’t answer. Malika, slapping her slippers, went to her room and opened the door. And there she was.
