Kaira groans, rolling over in bed. The period is the worst.

When she got it as a kid, she expected it to be neutral. She was so, so wrong. Every month for many years to come, she'd feel this pain.

A snarky comment escapes her lips, despite no one being around. "Dear Period...Thanks for reminding me I'm not pregnant. On top of being a virgin and draining me of half the blood I need, I wouldn't have remembered myself."

Another groan cuts through the air, and she rolls onto her stomach. "Ow, ow, ow," she mutters.
