She Danced under the Stars ✔

Here's where the diary ends.

The cover I chose for this account is an artist's impression of the dancer.

Last week someone took this photo and claimed that it was her.

Rumor has it that a burnt-faced girl, covered in bandages, escaped from the hospital. No one knows how she did that; she has only one eye left and has trouble breathing. She dances at night on the rooftops in town.

You can see her roaming the courtyard of a small apartment complex. Sometimes, she seems to be slipping in and out a garden apartment through the window, but that slum barely serves as squat: those who dared to enter it say that it's only furnished with a bathtub, a clogged toilet, a sink and an old bed crawling with bugs. Blood-caked underwear is lying around everywhere.

The single father who used to live there has passed away (this at least can be verified in the obituaries). A girl named Aileen Verlet actually lives in Brest, Brittany. She claims she has no friends in Burgundy though.
