Living in a Shield World
Me, Hannah

ME, HANNAH

Born in Edge Rock, made me a flower picker. Since childhood, my father and I went to the Rock Collapse core to sell our flowers. Dad never sold a lot of flowers, my family's need for access was very small, just to buy my half shield and savings.

In Edge Rock you can get any food and drink like the one in the core of Rocks, just take it in the forest and cook it at home.

Dad is an elder in our village, he is very good at flowers. Mother rarely goes out of the house, mother is very happy to mix the dried flowers to be used as medicine. Maternal concoction drugs, not traded, are only given away, when someone asks for it. Although I'm not entirely sure about my mother's skills, but she was very good at diagnosing illnesses. Often he ignored what the villagers complained about his illness, the mother just stared intently at the part that was in pain. I once asked, "Why doesn't mom care about her complaints?" My mother replied "the complaint is just the language she speaks for her pain, not the illness itself".

In the village, I don't want to be called a doctor, he's not a medical school graduate, he's just a medicine man.

I have grey hair, but I have whitish brown hair and mom has whitish yellow hair. I think my mom and dad's hair is very unique, a lot of white, weigh the main color.

When I was born my hair was gray, so the doctor who helped me was born, confused to register my hair color, because based on hair color spectrum testing tools, my hair color was really 50% dark 50% bright and I became the only residents in my village who were gray.

After elementary school, my grey hair is more white. My mother gave me a brush that contained a super black mangsi flower. Mom said I should be able to hide my grey hair, so as not to create much more hoopla. I am really happy, it's not good to be the center of attention.

My IQ was above average, genius in fact, but, often my father and mother advised me not to put myself in front of my friends too much. Father said it is not important to be great in front of many people, just to be great in the eyes of those who love you. Because of this many anti-conceit advice, it made me a lazy girl to talk.

Ling Ling often teases me nerds. He even teased me so often not to be an "old oaks", a name for a girl who never had a boyfriend. He will age like wood, stiff, silent and no one cares.To be honest I do not care, I am quite happy to be able to support myself, make friends with my friends who rest, and can read a whole book.

In addition to busy running around the cafe, my life is also filled with a super tight self-care schedule. Starting from my body that always floods sweat every 6 hours, my hair that must be blackened by dyed super mussi mix mums every week, once a week, and every change of clothes I have to comb my hair with a comb of a mother-made mangsi brush, so that the black dye is always gray, the comb contains electricity that balances the color.

And the most troublesome thing was the half shield that covered a part of my face, I have to change every 3 hours at most 24 hours (if up to 24 hours half shield is not removed will be too hard and will remove itself from the face)

Although it's just like sticking a sticker, but if it sticks too long, my face will be flushed like burning. Each time the half shield was removed it had to be soaked in water until it bulged just ten seconds later in the wind.

My half shield is censored, just like the flower pickers in my village. The part that closes the mouth can open if there is an object at 2 cm in front of it.

Unlike most rock collapse residents who just formed a face when I was 10 years old, my face was already perfectly formed at birth just like humans in the earth era, but my face and all of my skin will be flushed when exposed to starlight. So for ten years my whole body was wrapped in elastic gauze to be able to move outside, just like the other children. But not for my face, it has been 19 years I have not been able to take off the half shield on my face.

Not a single inhabitant of the earth knows my true face. Yeah except for dad, mom, and Dr. Brenda. Even for health checks every 3 months and buy half shield, I do it directly to Dr. Brenda's practice in the kingdom of rock collapse.

My half shield is a little different, more sensitive. In all markets rock collapse half shield is widely sold. The shape and ingredients can vary based on the habits of the person wearing and the sensitivity of the skin. My half shield has the same shape as most flower pickers in the edges collapse that is censored, but the ingredients are different, especially for me added moisturizer, because my skin is too sensitive. Rapidly flushed by starlight.

I've been to Dr. Brenda's practice since childhood. The place is small but neat, right at the border gate of the northern entrance of the city of Dams and Kingdom Of Rock (for the next Rock Collapse will be shortened to Rock only). Often I would just spend the night with him to check out the corpses of Dams town bums. He said, he was happy to talk to me.

Dr. Brenda's house is very simple, for the size of a doctor who has practiced 125 years. Her hair is whitish blue, just like her father and mother, Dr. Brenda's hair is more white than her main color. Miss Brenda (the call I used to call Dr. Brenda) also came to my house in the village. He often asked for flowers from my mother. Miss Brenda said, My mother's best flower concoction in the whole Rock.

He was also the one who fought for my grey hair to be recognized as normal hair not belonging to a sickly human who had to be isolated for treatment at Kingdom Hospital. Miss Brenda works as a doctor at a military base. He knows many types of Rock Collapse residents whose hair color is not listed and does not carry diseases that are harmful to society.

Miss Brenda has often said the effects of radiation that we have experienced once, are still happening, and we must continue to research and monitor the changes.

I've applied for a medical check to another doctor, but once I saw my medical history, just checked by Dr. Brenda, they didn't want to check on me. They said they didn't want to deal with Dr. Brenda. And you can imagine when the time came for a health check, how troublesome I had to follow where dr. Brenda's practice was. Fortunately, Ms. Mimmi wanted to understand and not make it difficult for me during a health check or when I was called by Dr. Brenda to accompany her.

My health alarm was set 2 weeks before its time by Dr Brenda (most people were set at least one week before its time). Dr. Brenda said, It is better to be too soon than too late.

A health alarm is like a light signal vibrating on the surface of a half shield. Thus, as the alarm flickered, his half shield trembled, and the person who saw it could be on guard. Only a doctor can set the alarm.

Miss Brenda said there was a chance my face would forever use half shield. It's ok, my parents know well how pretty I am.

Soon I'll be 20 years old, my beauty will be tested and marked, by Kingdom. The radiation that befell us, made the whole population of Rock, it was very difficult to have children, only the ones that were rich in access, who were fluent in having children, because they were always easy to get the concoction of fertilizing flowers. That's why my mother works to make flowers, so that small people who have little access, can have children. And thank God, my mom wasn't the only drug dealer in Rock. Kingdom also provides access to free funeral flower concoction to people recommended by doctors. Although the work is not as fast as the concoction of flowers for people with accesses, but it works. For example, Ms. Mimmi, after nearly ten years of drinking free funeral flower concoction from the Kingdom, finally had a child after 30 years of marriage. It's a pity that his marriage ran aground 2 years ago, because of Mr. Ericksen's affair.

I'm actually upset about Kingdom's policy on beauty that was tested and then marked.Although the goal is good, so that every resident can quickly find his ideal partner, but eventually it becomes a beauty contest, even, a show of pride of men who managed to get women with high levels and severe become unhealthy competition among women. Though the beauty test applies to men as well, but for men the results are never frenetic.It is fortunate that the Kingdom knows this, and gladly allow anyone to choose any beauty mark to be shown to his partner. We can repeatedly do beauty tests until we get the maximum level. The maximum level. The highest level is A6. If you have done 3 beauty tests and the results are the same, it means that the level is maximal. Almost most women are always curious about the announcement of the level of beauty marks in the health department. There were even a lot of reporters who purposely hung out on his announcement board. Although not named, but the acquisition of A level, for beauty always makes the residents of Inti Rocks crazy.
