‘Let’s give it your all’

Dale was a stinky planet.

They said, whoever came to this planet once, would have a residue smell for the rest of their lives.

Of course, that was just an exaggeration but it sufficed to say, a bit of that was actually true.

Getting used to the smell inside the house was also a chore.

Though airtight, a bit of air still got in whenever people came and went out of the house.

And that bit did (For the lack of a better word) flavor the air.

Though Rin was kind of underground, even here, it was almost unbearable for her without her mask.

A bit of sulfur, a bit of urea, a bit of other odd smells, all combined…

Even with the mast- Sigh…

Why did she come here?

'Why did I have to make that stupid bet…'

She hadn't regretted anything till now.

But-

Things change.

Feelings change.

People change.

'No, I can't just-'

But she didn't want to.

Not this time.
