How difficult it is to come to terms with the betrayal of a friend and loved one! I want to run away to the ends of the world so that no one sympathizes or feels sorry. This is what Astra does.

And Astra suddenly realizes that she likes this kind of life... Previously published under the title “The Magic of Venetian Glass.”
