Illustration for Six Minutes, from the adult visual novel The Countersign

We work it out in six minutes, sitting on the floor of a room with no window, and by the end of it I feel like a woman who has found a door in a wall she has been leaning on for two years.

RabI write down what happened. I countersign it. My number goes up.

TamsinThat cannot be what anybody intended.
