Who made this
Keivaez wrote this in Stuttgart, the day before Rorein died. Her daughter, Lina, is from her years with Krukorn. Her daughter, Mira, is from her years with Vroteis, whom she has also lost. At Rorein's funeral she said: "The last time he was here he was tired but he wasn't fighting anymore, and I think that's what I'll remember, how he stopped needing to prove the weight he could carry." This is one of seven writings she has made, beside three pictures and twelve pieces.
