Only around my thumbs do I still have some, as they will take a while to heal. Scars will probably form, a reminder of the night I spent in the room of terrors. My knees still hurt, and I wonder if I sprained my ligaments when Alekos pushed me. Even a light touch has me hissing in pain. Reyes has been
