So Regal requires a shoot; Faces to paint. Mine inclusive. She did. And as I stare into the picture, it speaks. No spots. No wrinkles. "To present her a holy church"... Suddenly I don't feel comfy with where I am... Suddenly I feel smothered by mum, as if she hadn't been that; I look at her and I see the log in my eye.
