XVII: Infection

I fear the wound I thought was safe has been infected.

This surprises me little. What stone can be wholly ordinary that comes from a forest made of fear?

The wound is across my belly. It is concealed by my shirt, though it is exposed when I wear only my binder, forcing me to change my clothes in private.

How long can I hide it? Should I leave at once? The infection could easily endangers the people here. I would not want to risk such a possibility, should it drive me to regress more quickly than the Forest itself.
