Quote by Piera Isabella Bernamonti

“Emma was 25 years old, but at only 12, when she got her first period, she had become aware that something was wrong with her body. Excruciating pains that felt like sharp shards of glass were cutting her lower abdomen open. Not even the most potent painkillers could alleviate them. They often plagued her for at least one week a month until she collapsed.”

Don’t worry, we’ll catch up very soon. … [Muffled] Who’s mummy’s wittle echolocator? That’s right—you are! —End transcript”
