A story about a boy who had faced bullying due to articulation difficulties resulted from a traditional tongue-bloodletting procedure performed in his early childhood in an attempt to accelerate his speech development.

Quote from this story:

“Anwar's thoughts drifted away, specifically to that day when he was held down by Fraywan and a few men, with his father Zaidan present, for that operation under his tongue and the subsequent cauterization of the front part of his tongue. These incidents were the cause of his current speech impediment.”
