Let them shed all their tears in a crocodile pour for the simple simp sister who flourished of yore but I'll cast my vote in the way I fell- for the girl self-reliant, bright, snappy and RIGHT" Palatyne Flâner grew up in a middle-class family in 1900's France, her perfect cookie-cutter life was pulled apart by war and death.
