"Really? I heard it's passed down to the daughter-in-law!"
I spoke casually, but my eyes were constantly darting out of the corner of my eye to observe her changing expressions.
Her face was so black it looked like squid ink could drip from it. To prevent what happened in my dream from happening again, I kept a wary distance from her.
