[maiverie]

hello <3 i finally started reading triage and i laughed too hard reading the first chap :'D i loved the chemistry jokes sm (im still finding a time to read the rest but unfortunately it's almost time for school again) you're actually my fav author here in blr !!! your writing is just so well-written and that might be an understatement bcs it's just so good ??? i think no simple words can explain how amazing of an author you are <3 like the way you deliver the words and how you let readers imagine the little scenarios you make like it's so cool <3

(sorry if this is too long but) i also came here to ask you for advice hehe. im kind of a newbie here in blr and im currently working on my upcoming series.. and im unsatisfied with my progress and found myself deleting my drafts (for abt two times already ??) and i want to know how to be more confident in my writings and how not to overthink too much yk ?? would really love to hear your thoughts on this. you're not only a good author but a good advisor too !!! thank u sm <33

hi lexine (nice to meet u !!), stopppp YOU ARE TOOOO nice thank you sooo much for taking the time out to write this??? 😭💖 firstly, thank you for reading triage and plsss nawt the bitchless chemistry jokes 😭 kidding I also giggled while writing those parts smh

and secondly, ur fav author??? STOP LYINGGG i consider that such a high honour so thank you so much 🥹💞 to have your support is one thing and to read such positive words is another, so again thank you for taking the time out of your day to leave this message because it just made my day :(

aaa please don't apologise because I love long asks the most, and yes ofc my asks are always open! I have a tendency to ramble so beware a long message is below the cut — nevertheless I really hope this helps! 🥹💞

I firstly just want to preface that I obviously do not know everything about writing and this is all truly just one opinion, so only take what resonates 🫶

I can only really speak from personal experience, but I think it's actually a really good thing that you're going back to your drafts, revising your writing, which may or may not include the process of deleting/restarting things. obviously it's a really gruelling experience to go through (bc there's nothing worse than deleting all ur hard work), but I think it's really admirable that you're thinking about your writing and putting in the effort to make it better with each draft !! personally, I am constantly writing and re-writing my drafts and as much as it literally HURTS MY SOUL to delete words/paragraphs/sometimes entire chapters, I genuinely enjoy this process — to me, that's what writing is kind of all about? I know to most people ff is really not that deep (they're not wrong, it doesn't have to be) but I think the fact you're practising deliberation, reflection and thought in your writing, word choice, characters, plot etc. etc. is really really amazing !!

personally, I would say the thing to keep in mind is that everything needs to be in moderation — I've had chapters that have literally taken me a fuckload of re-writes (I'm a big overthinker / slight perfectionist), and while I did initially enjoy the whole process of editing / re-writing / discovering how to change certain scenes etc, it was really really mentally draining and I ended up losing passion for the story in the end. just be careful that this might happen to you? to avoid this, maybe every time you've reached a block (where no matter how much you re-write something, you always seem to hate how it turns out) you should try find a different source of inspiration — whether that means thinking about your story/characters with a different song playing, or moving wherever you tend to write, or having someone brainstorm ideas with you / beta-read your fic, or take a few days off !!

out of curiosity, what don't you like about your first drafts? is it the writing or the pacing or the characters? or is it something you can't quite put a finger on? let me know and we can try think about it together !!! im also the biggest overthinker when it comes to writing (💀) but what kind of comforts me and brings my feet back to the ground is reminding myself that 1) my fics are for MYSELF (i.e. you should be writing things you would want to read yourself, not what others might want to read - bc once you make it all about other people, that's when you really start to overthink) and 2) if im gna be fr, 90% of people on tumblr, especially enhablr, only really care about ff bc they want to read about their bias (if they wanted to read well-written literature, they would probably read a published book or smth yk). in saying that, it's totally okay for your fics to be imperfect (who cares! it's fanfiction!). I think just reminding yourself that ff is just a silly little thing u do in ur spare time (for which has 0 tie to your self-value) will keep you from overthinking things and raging when things get really hard !! when it comes to confidence, I think that comes gradually in small doses (the more you write, the more confident you become in your personal style / writing likes and dislikes), but maybe some ways to feel more confident is by getting a beta reader that you trust (and will give you effective advice — one that doesn't just shower you with compliments but can give you constructive criticism in a nice way), by reading other people's work (just to see if you're on the right track; if you read other people who have written similar tropes to you, it might make you feel less scared / in the dark bc you can see how they've executed it), or by changing the font on your google doc(?) to try reset your brain and re-read your work with fresh eyes.

I hope hope hope this helped in some way, please don't hesitate to reach out again if anything needs clarification or if I didn't quite answer your question (I'm sorry if I didn't 😭) !! <333 you're welcome anytime around here hehe so best of luck with ur series AND WELCOME TO BLRRRR <3333 it sounds like you're on the right track w ur writing if you're being conscious of all these things so I wouldn't fret at all!!! <33

if it helps, I've written other writing tips here, here and here! 🫶

SunaOsa fanfic recs: valentines edition~~

SunaOsa is one of my all time favorite ships and this past month, there has been/was an exchange going on between writers (here is the link) and artists (separately) and because I don’t have a life (or maybe it’s just that SunaOsa is my life LOL), I’m here to tell you some of my favorite fics from the pile :D However, as much as I love a ship, sometimes fluff is too asajndajnd so mind you there will probably be a lot of good fics missing just cause I couldn’t get myself to read more fluff (or angst) LOL (IM SORRY but sometimes I also just can’t motivate myself to read a fic no matter how good it looks OOPS).

As always, please check warning and tags before reading any of these fics, and take care of yourselves!!!!

In no particular order (jk the order is last updated haha) tho my favorites will have *** next to them :)

***glass stained black by unrequitedangst (E) 31k // Mafia AU’s are some of my favorite kinds of fics, and this one did not disappoint! The character development of Osamu is really legit and despite being mafia, it’s not that heavy or angst of a fic (but you should still definitely read tags and warnings first). It’s an Osamu heavy fic, and if you’re into reading him being stupid, go right ahead LOL.

redux by catalysis (T) 2.3k // ngl I hate break-up fics with a passion truely (when you can’t handle fluff or angst what to do) but I liked the concept for this one hehe (so I made myself suffer LOL). It was short, but cute !!! and the unspoken words really hit me in the FEELS (so what I’m dramatic fight me LOL).

Impropriety by DeathBelle (T) 5.7k // royalty~ I love the banter between them in this fic and we DO stan respectful Osamu yes we do <33333 The relationships between not only SunaOsa but SunaAtsu (because even though it isn’t really SunaAtsu best friend agenda, I can delude myself into think it is okay :/) are done so well and so nice he’s mean Osamu is best Osamu.

***what are you waiting for? by Slumber (T) 3.7k // MIGHT BE MY FAV FIC FROM THIS EXCHANGE!!! It made me cackle and I love how they learn new things about each other!!!! Like the development is so good and Suna is really doing the MOST!! Also, I love recursive endings AHHHHHH!

agape by sketchedsmiles (T) 11.7k // soulmates, then they were SOULMATES! (ik that’s not how it goes but pls just humor me LOL) This fic really depicted Osamu’s insecurities/internal turmoil/overthinking really well and the realization he has vs Suna’s AHJAFKASFJ. I love confident Suna.

fireside by tartaglia (starkartifices) (T) 3.6k // we do love the subtle flirt flirt don’t we hehe ;) It’s short, it’s fluff, and it’s funny - what more could you ask for? Also whats a vigilante fic if there isn’t at least one pun about being a vigilante LOL.

Over and Over Again by tookumade (G) 6.4k // I would like to order one reassuring, reliable Miya Osamu for myself please and thank you :((( The way the relationship is so GOOD like both Suna and Osamu pick each other up and they know the other has their back ajfhkajdfl. I would purchase all the onigiri with the deal Suna was proposing ;) Onigirintarou.

from here to eternity by TheGlovedArtist (T) 6.6k // I for one am a big fan of mythology and stuff (heroes of olympus but like IDR any of the plot LOL) so of course I read this fic. The snark appearances of Sakusa and Komori gave me LIFE and the difference in descriptions from Astumu and Kita cracked me up. This is another respectful Osamu fic (yes I love these) and in this one it was a ‘I save you as much as you save me’ type beat LOL. Gotta love rings.

***Subtle Inarizaki Dating by sifuhotman (T) 15.2k // THIS ONE. Even if you don’t read the whole thing, I beg of you, please, I AM ON MY KNEES, read the SID for Astumu. It is worth the loss of all your brain calls I guarantee it. It made me giggle so freakin much. Suna might be an A-Hole but he’s OUR A-Hole <3

Forever Begins with 8 Seconds by subtlehues (T) 3.9k // FLUFF hehe, I love their dynamic in this one it’s very good and cute and everything great! Also, I am all for the head cannon that Suna cannot cook, yes pls. Also SUPERPOWERS whooooooooh.

***try again, and again, and again by rosegoldwriting (T) 2.6k // SOULMATES! If you ever wanted a specific soulmate AU! for SunaOsa look no further, it probably comes out LOL. I love this concept of them just being like ‘WTF’ everyday, it gives me life. Also, count how many soulmate AU’s you recognized because I just thought about it and I think it’d be fun LOL. (I went back and I think 11 but I’m not sure LOL)

let us burn by SilverMoonT (G) 13.5k // I am always up for a nice vampire Osamu and witch Suna (which believe it or not, is my second one because I read the other one by this writer LOL) This one is more Suna POV and it really goes into his fears and desires, and I like the way Osamu pushes him to live more freely.

***reasons to microwave an elixir by spiritscript (T) 8.2k // THIS ONE. UGH I love, and it’s funny and cute and it EVEN HAS CRIME (kinda not really but yes)! I love the quiet moments they have and the PET AHHHHHHH! We love medic Osamu :DDDDD But also the betrayal and the sparring (and the irony at the end LOL) AJSKJNFK.

we fall between by stringendos (T) 14.7k // honestly the entire time I was just screaming at my computer, begging for them to hurry up and realize, but alas this is a ~slow burn~ for a reason and the tag ‘exes who act like theyre married’ really is the reason I read it and I do not regret LOL. Also bless Matsuda and stan her.

All the Time in the World by minie_ai (M) 8.8k // we love immortality! Denial! And Suna mentally filing away blackmail against people (namely Astumu) LOL. Running away from your problems is always the answer (I am saying this is a not sarcastic manner because I too, run away from my problems LOL) but ramen is ALWAYS a good answer. We love ourselves some emotional constipation LOL.

***none but you by broikawa (T) 7.2k // everything is a competition always LOL, not that I’m complainin but still LOL EVERYTHING. I really love this one because I love the progression and cock-block SakuAtsu hehe. I love them being synchronized idiots <3

it all comes back to you, (my home) by iritaescents (T) 4.5k // FOREVER, WE STAN FOREVER. Anyway, LOL this was is very very cute and fluff and not slow burn, it fast burn LOL. It’s a cute fic to read and it even has our favorite, now say it with me SOULMATES LOL.

Can't help falling in bed with you by tirralirra (T) 6.7k // here we see a 5 + 1 with points for the title (I think it’s very funny LOL my humor is bad ;)) Not that it really needs extra points because it’s a great fic in itself LOL but I really liked the title so I felt the need to share this with you all (OOPS). This was so cute, and the + 1 is HILARIOUS.

It’s no longer up :(((((( -> love's consequences by xginpuff (T) 6.5k // WARNINGS AND TAGS been a while since we had an angsty fic in this list (LOL the way I just tried to avoid all of them hehe). I read the tags but ngl I was still surprised later LOL maybe I’m just dumb, but anyway IK it starts out a bit confusing, but after you read more, you’ll get into it!

***sunagashi by bastigod (T) 9.8k // if there’s anything I like more than mythology, it’s folklore LOL. I love this fic and the plot is written so artfully AHDSAJN. Also the scene with the Ume-chan and her comment (so snarky I love). Also they way I went through so much trouble trying to figure out the kanji LOL (SPOILER it’s miyarin hehe)

catch me (while i'm still runnin') by lunarins (T) 4.3k // first and foremost, may we have a moment of silence for Komori and his eyebrows..... Continuing, this fic was so good because I love a good heist hehe. Their slight of hand abilities really doing the most LOL, and the ending OMG. I love the way the writer added in how they appeared to others during the heist, it really made it so good! Ugh to have a painting class and almost die LOL.

***if we get this right by Slumber (G) 5k // OLD FRIEND plsplspls I love this fic and I love how Osamu slowly relearns who he knew Suna as AHHH. The ending, again UGH, I really loved it and their banter with one another.

The Study of Suna Rintarou by DeathBelle (T) 6.1k // PLEASE the way Osamu kept getting offended omg. But also the effort Suna puts into getting to know Osamu, I was in ~love~. Read to me Osamu, READ TO ME. But also the Osamu is an oblivious MF agenda is alive and well within this fic hehe.

Take a Hint by pancake_surprise (G) 2.3k // ok so I had just read a tumbr post about the one bed thing and then I saw this fic. It was like the stars aligned okay? I was like, ig I HAVE to read it now hehe. But seriously read it, it’s cute and like everything else, of course there’s a challenge to be made LOL.

Heatwave by pancake_surprise (G) 2.1k // the way they were dating without knowing they were dating man. The tag ‘Didn't Know They Were Dating‘ more accurate than the ‘first dates’ one LOL jk but actually tho am I kidding? It’s the first official one IG. LOL anyway, we do love the doin of the defining of relationships. Yup.

If you made it all the way down here, CONGRATS LOL. Like I said, I didn’t read all of them (sadly) and these were the ones i did read LOL. I might add more depending on whether I can motivate myself into reading fics I know will be good LOL so we’ll see heh. Honestly, I thought I was gonna get word counted, but YAY we finished (for now hehe). Also sorry for any possible typos (is this no beta we die like men?) I’m running on 90 min of sleep so my engrish be strugglin LOL. Be safe and wear masks :)

Boyfriend (Beta): Kitagawa Shouta (SSR) - The Lights on the Rooftop

CV: KENN

Proofreaders: R A N 水嶋ラン & Jin

Heroine name: Takamiya Akane **This is a name I gave for all the MC that’s not in Shouta’s story so I will be applying this to all of them from here on out.

IMPORTANT: Under a friend’s suggestion, I will be reposting my old translation of Boyfriend (Beta) from my blogspot on this tumblr as well. Only the ones I have posted of course. But I will change a few things here and there. Looking at my blogspot again, I see everything was terribly made and some things were hard to read. I did this translation years ago so the quality might be bad. I didn’t change much either.

The Candles’ Miracle

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 1

Takamiya Akane: (Hmm, that person moving towards this direction is……)

Child 1: Shouta-nii-chan, you’re slow~! Come on, hurry upー!

Kitagawa Shouta: Hahaha, you don’t have to be impatient. The candles won’t run away~. Hmm, it’s Akane! What a coincidence to meet you here! 

Takamiya Akane: *Giggles*, it sure is. That’s quite the large baggage there, what’re they for?

Kitagawa Shouta: We~ll, actually, the people at orphanage were talking about making homemade candles, then all the children got interested and then it was decided that they want to make them. They said they can make it Christmas-y and were in high spirits~!

Takamiya Akane: *Giggles*, I see. All of you get along well as usual. (Handmade candles…… that sounds fun)

Kitagawa Shouta: If you’re interested, do you want to make them together?

Takamiya Akane: Eh. I’m happy but is it okay for me to join in?

Kitagawa Shouta: Of course! If it’s you, you’ll be gladly welcomed! Right, guys?

Child 2: Yup, of course! Big sister should make candles with us!

Child 1: Yup, the more the merrier!

Takamiya Akane: Really? If everyone says so then I’ll take up the offer.

Takamiya Akane: Sorry that you had to send me all the way home.

Kitagawa Shouta: It’s fine, it’s fine~. I can’t let a lady walk home on her own either~.

Takamiya Akane: Thank you for today. Candle making was fun.

Kitagawa Shouta: I see! I’m glad you had fun!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 2

Kitagawa Shouta: The candle you made was super cute!

Takamiya Akane: *Giggles*, thank you. Your candle is beautiful too.

Kitagawa Shouta: Seriously!? While we’re at it, I want to show them to various people~. Look, the candle’s light is warm right? I wish to share this warmth with various people!

Takamiya Akane: Ah, I think I somehow know how that feels.

Kitagawa Shouta: Right~? ……Ah, that’s it! I just thought of something great! About the upcoming Christmas Party, did you know that we had plans to decorate the venue’s rooftop?

Takamiya Akane: Yup, I know. That’s the party’s one and only centerpiece right?

Kitagawa Shouta: Let’s decorate it using our candles too!

Takamiya Akane: Eh!? Wi-, will they even allow us to do so?

Kitagawa Shouta: It’s not like we’re putting unrelated things and it’s better than not asking at all right~? 

Takamiya Akane: ……you’re right. It sounds interesting as well so let’s try asking!

Kitagawa Shouta: Haha, as expected of Akane! Now you’re talking~! I’m going to ask tomorrow and I’ll let you know the results right after!

Takamiya Akane: Thank you, Kitagawa-kun. I’ll be looking forward to the news.

Kitagawa Shouta: ……Ah, there you are! He~y, Akane~!

Takamiya Akane: Ah, Kitagawa-kun. It’s good that we found each other quickly.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 3

Kitagawa Shouta: Well~, I don’t know what I’d do if I couldn’t find yo-…….

Takamiya Akane: ……Kitagawa-kun? What’s wrong? You went silent all of a sudden.

Kitagawa Shouta: Eh!? Ah, m-, my bad! Unconsciously, I got mesmerised……! Because you look different than usual and really cute, you unintentionally snatched my attention…… I was really surprised~!

Takamiya Akane: *Giggles*, thank you. You too gave a different impression from usual when you’re in a suit and you look really cool. 

Kitagawa Shouta: Re-, really? Hahaha, if you praise me like that, I’ll get happier~. Thanks Akane! Erm, di-, did you properly bring the candle?

Takamiya Akane: Of course. I put it in a bag so that it won’t get smashed. It’s great that they gave us permission much more easily than I thought.

Kitagawa Shouta: Haha, I was also a little surprised. But it was worth asking. Al~right! Well, let’s leave it at the rooftop immediately~!

Takamiya Akane: Sure! Actually I thought of enjoying the party a bit before leaving the candle at the rooftop so I haven’t gone up yet. *Giggles* this is making me excited~.

Takamiya Akane: Wow……! This is amazing, it’s like the rooftop itself is glowing!

Kitagawa Shouta: It’s a really spectacular view, isn’t it~!? Akane, this is amazing! From here onwards, our candle will also be joining in as well, you know~!?

Takamiya Akane: *Giggles*. When you think about it that way, it makes my heart race. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 4

Kitagawa Shouta: Al~right! Might as well choose a great place with the best charm to decorate! Akane, let’s look at the inner part first~! Come on!

Takamiya Akane: (Eh, Erm, is he perhaps……holding my hand? Maybe he’s being careful so I won’t trip. It’s a little awkward…… Maybe I’ll spoil him a little)

Kitagawa Shouta: Hehe. It’s a little dangerous so be careful not to step on anything~. This place is easily noticeable and stands out quite a bit!

Takamiya Akane: Yes. …… As the wind blows and flickers the flame, it feels magical yet beautiful, right? Do you think our candles will be seen by the others?

Kitagawa Shouta: Isn’t that obvious~!? I bet everyone will definitely say 『It’s really beautiful』 as they are fascinated by them!

Takamiya Akane: *Giggles*, that’d be great. Thank you, Kitagawa-kun. ……Somehow, it’s so beautiful that I don’t want to part from it. If possible, I would like to stay beside it and watch over it…….

Kitagawa Shouta: Hahaha, if I’m with you then that doesn’t sound so bad~.

Takamiya Akane: Really? Then, let’s stay here a little longe-……*sneezes*!

Kitagawa Shouta: Ah, as expected it’s getting chilly~. I don’t want to say this but I would hate it if you catch a cold. We should go back inside soon and slowly warm ourselves up, shall we?

Takamiya Akane: ……You’re right. I’m reluctant to go but let’s go back inside.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 5

Takamiya Akane: (*Giggles*. The present exchange is heating up)

Kitagawa Shouta: He~y, Akane! What did you get?

Takamiya Akane: Ah, Kitagawa-kun. Actually I haven’t opened it…….

Kitagawa Shouta: Oh~, let’s see what you got…… wha-, wait, it’s the present I prepared!

Takamiya Akane: Eh, really? There were even so many to choose from. Such a coincidence.

Kitagawa Shouta: I have no doubt that this is the wrapping. It would be more interesting if the present I got was prepared by you~.

Takamiya Akane: ……Erm…… That box, is the present I prepared you know?

Kitagawa Shouta: Eh…… Se-, seriously!? Haha, can something like this even happen~!?

Takamiya Akane: I was also surprised. *Giggles*, such an amazing coincidence.

Kitagawa Shouta: No way, maybe it’s not just some kind of coincidence~? Maybe we’re tied together by the red string of fate…… just kidding!

Takamiya Akane: *Giggles*. Maybe it really is true.

Kitagawa Shouta: Eh!? Do-, does that mean……!

Takamiya Akane: ……Kitagawa-kun? Why did you suddenly stiffen up?

Kitagawa Shouta: ……Ah. Oh…… it’s just a joke huh~…… I’m feeling a little disappointed.

Takamiya Akane: Eh? Kitagawa-kun, what did you just say?

Kitagawa Shouta: Nothing, I was just talking to myself so don’t worry about it! By the way, since I’m here, can I open the present?

Takamiya Akane: Sure! I don’t mind so let’s open them together.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 6

Takamiya Akane: This is, a LED candle and a glass candle holder?

Kitagawa Shouta: My present is an aroma candle set huh. To think that both of us would both prepare candle-related presents~. Haha, this is awesome! We’re really two peas in a pod~!

Takamiya Akane: *Giggles*, we really are. Since we’ve come this far, we can only call it a miracle. But, why is the candle holder’s grip a four leaf clover?

Kitagawa Shouta: That’s of course because I want the receiver to receive good luck!

Takamiya Akane: (I see…… *Giggles*, as I thought, Kitagawa-kun is kind) Ah, the holder looks more beautiful when the light passes throu-…… Ah! (The candle holder slipped out of my hands and it’s going to dro-……!)

Kitagawa Shouta: ――Oops! That was dangerous~. I was just right on time!

Takamiya Akane: Tha-, thank you. You really saved me by helping me supporting it……! (Ah, he’s supporting both of my hands……! It-, it’s like we’re holding the candle holder together and it’s a little embarrassing……!) Even though it’s something I received from you, I’m sorry. Um, it’s fine already so…… (Eh……? Why is his grip getting tighter……?)

Kitagawa Shouta: Don’t worry about it dropping. It won’t break so it’s all safe! More importantly…… I’m super lucky that you were the one who received it~. That’s because, this is something I’m using to deliver good luck to the person I love, you know?

END

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: My comment from a few years back when translating this was " What if Kai was the one who got it instead? XDDDD He will be the one that receives your love and good luck instead?” I had to do it since Kai x Shouta was my fav pairing that time.

[bashirs]

I sent the gecko ask b4 i saw ur post... Mmm do any of the ds9 members get pets/if u had 2 assign a pet 2 the main ds9 characters (or u can just focus on ur favs if u want) what would they have

in s6, miles adopts a cat named chester after his owner dies due to reasons but we don't really see much of him. other than that there are no pets in the show but my headcanons.....

sisko: wouldn't really want a pet, he likes kids more. jake probably wanted a dog when he was younger but sisko said no bc they were living on a starship at the time

kira: never had a pet as a kid ofc, so she never really thought of it as something she wanted as an adult. definitely not a dog person and not accustomed to domesticated cats like the ones on earth. she quickly finds out she's allergic while babysitting for the o'briens. she still likes chester though

jadzia: i can see her wanting a less common/alien type of pet. she probably gets one on an impulse bc a previous host had the same pet but realizes it wasn't her best decision. she's still a relatively good pet owner and she dedicates lots of time to making sure the terrarium is awesome

julian: as a kid he begged his parents for pets and ended up w a fish. then he and his roommate kept bugs at the academy. finally once he's settled down on ds9 he gets a cat.. i think i talked briefly abt my ideas for julian's cat once hehe he'd have a fluffy yellow cat and her name is pussy galore after the james bond character, but he calls her gloria. julian talks to her a lot, especially while thinking things through, and he takes her to the holosuite w him so she can go "outside" (quark gets mad when he has to have the cat hair cleaned)

garak: in the beta canon they tell us garak kept small type of cardassian chameleon called a regnar as a pet while he was at military boarding school and he had a pet lemur when he was younger but that story is tragic :( i don't think he'd want his own pets as an adult, but he'd love julian's cat
