      ATTEW – Chapter 17 Cover
      by Peach Moose People are, after all, just animals with highly developed instincts.

A little past 2 a.m., Eunho woke up and sat bolt upright when she realized both sides of her were empty. Just moments ago, Gyueon had been sleeping to her left, Eunsil to her right. Yet now, less than two hours after they’d fallen asleep, both were…

Then, as if she’d never been reluctant at all, she flitted off and ran toward the other kids her age who were peeking over. “…She went.” “Yes.” “Thank you.
