'''Jentha Briati''', also known by her [[Skorpe]] handle {{VE Quote|jentha|furbishFacilitated}}, is one of the main characters in ''[[Vast Error]]''. Her associated alchemic sigil is [[Wikipedia:Tin|Tin]], and she is a deconstruction of the "useless" fantroll archetype.<ref>{{CiteSocial|whosaid=@deconreconstruction|platform=tumblr|link=https://deconreconstruction.tumblr.com/faq}}</ref>
 
Jentha's [[Hemospectrum#Biological Aspects|survival ability]] is nuclear discharge, but it seems mostly inactive right now after repression.
 
She was the twelfth troll introduced and the ninth troll to enter the game.
 
==Etymology==
The surname Briati most likely comes from Sanskrit term ''brhati'', a drug used within a branch of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda Ayurveda] which attempted to increase life span and strength, but as a feminine adjective, the word also means various synonyms of strength.


'''Jentha Briati''', also known by her [[Skorpe]] handle {{VE Quote|jentha|furbishFacilitated}}, is one of the main characters in the webcomic ''[[Vast Error]]''. Her associated alchemic sigil is Tin. She has medium to long blocky hair, and her horns protrude outwards away from her head with two protrusions at the ends, reminiscent of clubbed insect antennae. 
==Biography==


Jentha is based off of the "useless" fantroll archetype, and generally is a subversion of the "shy, sweet, anxious girl" trope.
===Four passes===
Jentha's early life is revealed in a flashback segment in Act 3 Act 1. Jentha was kept in high-level containment due to her extremely powerful survival ability, which allowed her to discharge and manipulate nuclear energy inherent to her cells{{VE|1911}}. At an early age, it discharged automatically, prompting the reduplication cavern staff to keep her separate from other trolls her age, something that [[The Principal]] sought to make up for in some way{{VE|1920}}.


Repitonian goldbloods are usually born with extremely powerful survival abilities, but Jentha was born without one{{VE|817}}, making her vulnerable.  
Jentha met [[Dismas Mersiv]] during his time in school after he was sent to detention for a fight with [[Murrit Turkin]]. Instead of being connected with a teacher to write an apology note, the Principal connects Dismas with Jentha and they have {{VE|1926|a conversation}}, most likely the first Jentha has ever had with a troll her own age at the time, which she begins by correcting Dismas's typing errors. The two grew close over these messages, leading Dismas to recruit [[Albion Shukra]] in a mission to get Jentha out of her mould and take her to the playgrounds. On their way, it is revealed that Murrit had been tailing them the whole time, taking necessary steps to ensure they weren't caught by acting from the shadows. He uses this as leverage to convince them to let him join them, to which they all reluctantly agree.


She was the twelfth and last of the main cast to be introduced, and the tenth troll to enter the game.  
After playing for some time, Murrit pushes Dismas off a construct, greatly upsetting Jentha and causing her survival ability to explode due to her lack of control over her emotions{{VE|1968}}. This causes a massive incident that results in the deaths of several students and staff at the hands of a [[Lusus#Skulltitan_lusus|skulltitan]], whom Jentha inadvertently grants power with her nuclear energy. Dismas distracts the lusus from attacking Jentha in a show of grubhood bravery as the Principal arrives to resolve the situation. Dismas is sent off to the dunes with the skulltitan through an application of [[Alchemy|Space alchemy]], and Jentha is put to sleep by another type of alchemy.


== Biography ==
Following the incident, priority was set on repressing Jentha's survival ability as hard as possible, leaving her severely traumatized and disabled (eyesight issues, a stutter, debilitating anxiety and depression).


=== Six Sweeps ===
===Six sweeps===
Not much is currently known about Jentha before the story begins. Some time before the story begins, she met [[Dismas Mersiv|Dismas]], forming a [[Quadrants#Moirallegiance.2FPale Quadrant .E2.99.A6|moirallegiance]] with him. She isn't shown in any flashbacks{{VE|1079}}.
Once she reached six sweeps, she was sent off to live in an apartment in Stronghold 21 before deciding to instead wander the world for anywhere to fit in. She settled in the utopian ruins of [[The Renaissance]], the same place turned to ash by [[Mosura Briati|her ancestor]] sweeps prior, where she meets a [[Lusus#Metamorphier lusus|metamorphier lusus]] that takes her in. The lusus weaves a cocoon for themself shortly after, and is yet to emerge.{{VE|2051}}


=== Pre-game ===
Jentha, all alone with nothing left, had already resigned herself to the fact that she was going to die alone before Dismas was led right to her by Murrit under the guise of an assassination mission. From then on, the two '''{{VE Quote|wn|found solace in each other}}''', entering a [[Quadrants#Moirallegiance.2FPale Quadrant .E2.99.A6|moirallegiance]].
During [[Ellsee Raines|Ellsee]]'s memo, Jentha accidentally accidentally sends a message containing solely the letter F, before freaking out at her mistake and saying to forget she said anything. Ellsee attempts to get her to talk, but Jentha tells her to forget it. Jentha silences and then unsilences herself, saying not to comment on her mistake, and then finally bans herself from the memo.


Jentha is then seen on a [[Skorpe]] call with Dismas and [[Murrit Turkin|Murrit]], having been scared into answering by Murrit by telling her Dismas was dead. Dismas reassures Jentha that he's okay, asking what's wrong. Jentha complains about Murrit's crypticism, causing Dismas and Murrit to argue. Jentha confesses that she doesn't know how [[The Game]] is supposed to work . Dismas attempts to comfort her once more, saying that he's already healing and that his arm is really the only thing that needs urgent medical attention. Murrit interrupts and says that the broken arm is currently the least of their problems, to the confusion of Dismas and Jentha. He plays an annoyingly loud remixed montage of Dismas' fight with his [[Lusus#Skulltitan lusus|lusus]] before announcing that he's ready for Dismas to be his server player. Dismas and Jentha tells Murrit to fuck off on the count of Dismas' condition and Murrit being entirely at fault for it. Murrit tells them she's hatched a plan to get Dismas back to his hive, as they have another Boobdrone push an ore-powered minecart onto the nearby rails.
===Pre-game===
Jentha's first spoken line happens during one of [[Ellsee Raines|Ellsee Raines's]] memos, {{VE Quote|ellsee|Rinkadink Thinking TimΣ}}{{VE|448}}, when Jentha accidentally sends the letter "h" into the chat. The two have a humorous exchange in which Jentha silences and unsilences herself multiple times, before she finally bans herself from the memo altogether.


Dismas and Jentha do not like Murrit's plan, and point out a number of its flaws. Dismas brings up [[Albion Shukra|Albion]], who had appeared to not be acting like herself and was being abnormally cryptic (unbeknownst to him, she had been possessed by her [[Cyprim Shukra|Ancestor]]), but Murrit dismisses this and states that she appears to be acting normally. Jentha points out that Dismas' lusus is likely back in Dismas' hive, but Murrit tells her that it's under control. Finally Dismas reminds Murrit that his computer has been damaged and will likely be unable to run the game properly. Murrit tells Dismas that they will just have to work as a team to get the job done. Resentful, but seeing no other options, Dismas reluctantly agrees with the plan. Dismas is lifted onto the cart by the drone, sets the carrier's speed to max and proceeds to MELT TRACK with the Boobdrone in tow.
After her proper introduction, Jentha is interrupted from watching [[Turnin Kaikai|a stream]] when [[Occeus Coliad]] messages her, seeking advice about his personal woes. Later, she is brought into a Skorpe call with Dismas and Murrit after her moirail's altercation with his [[Lusus#Skulltitan_lusus|lusus]], Murrit having sent her into a panic by claiming that Dismas was dead. Dismas calms Jentha down and Jentha berates Murrit for their behavior as Murrit loads Dismas onto an ore-powered minecart to get him back to his hive in time to be their server player.


In [S] Engage., Jentha yells at Murrit for throwing Dismas down a ladder and generally putting her moirail in danger, but is smugly ignored.
Later, Jentha tries to assist [[Sova Amalie]] with her entry, whacking the [[Homunculi|inky creatures]] who are harassing her with some of the Game's pillars in an effort to drive them away. Panicked, Jentha messages Occeus to ask for help , but her attention is drawn away before he can respond: a glowing light shines behind her, taking the form of [[Af]], the [[Denizen]] of Light, much to her starstruck wonder and the annoyance of [[White Noise]], who bemoans the denizen's tendency to "go off script".


After her introduction, Jentha receives a message from [[Occeus Coliad|Occeus]], seeking advice about his personal problems after not being able to ask [[Albion Shukra|Albion]] and [[Sova Amalie|Sova]]. Jentha bluntly tells him to jump off a cliff and leave her alone after being interrupted from watching a stream from a [[Turnin Kaikai|internet celebrity]]. The two have a quick back and forth conversation where Jentha continues to deflect what he says. Occeus convinces himself that he needs to stop being selfish, thanking Jentha for helping him to come to this conclusion. Occeus receives a transmission from [[Hamifi Hekrix|Hamifi]], telling him to pull himself together or leave the [[Repiton Corporation|Corporate]] payroll. Occeus goes back to Jentha and vents that he may have finally hit rock bottom. Jentha replies that she doesn't know what he means, but Occeus is pulled away before he can respond.
During the events of {{VE|1000|2=&#91;S&#93; Ellsee: Enter.}}, Jentha is led through utopian ruins as Af sets up her portal for her. They activate it, prompting Jentha to follow, and she is taken into her fully formed [[Land of Tall Grass and Sunflowers|land]], a planet comprised of grassy fields with yellow flowers and bright blue skies. Her platform and talk with her denizen are not shown.


Jentha is included in [[Arcjec Voorat|Arcjec]]'s memo, but doesn't respond to it.
===During the game===
Jentha wanders her planet only to find no possible means of progress, {{VE|1895|finally relenting and asking Af for assistance}}. They talk at length about Jentha's land and the fact that it was designed with no way to progress intentionally, as Jentha's quest will be much different from everyone else's. Af plans to give Jentha the final land quest task right out the gate and allow Jentha to achieve [[Pure Self|self-actualization]] much sooner than everyone else.


She's then seen trying to help Sova with her entry by whacking the inky creatures harassing Sova with pillars. Jentha frantically messages Occeus and begs for help, but her attention is drawn away by a glowing light in the shape of the [[Aspect#Light|Light aspect]] shining behind her. [[Af]], the [[Denizen]] of Light, appears to help a starstruck Jentha, to the annoyance of [[White Noise]].
Af proceeds to remark on the traumatic nature of Jentha's past, something she had seemingly either forgotten about or chose to pretend never happened, which segues directly into her recollecting her {{VE|1907|aforementioned backstory}}.


=== During the game ===
==Personality and Traits==
During [S] Ellsee: Enter., Jentha is shown being led through an abandoned town. Af sets up Jentha's portal and activates it, prompting Jentha to follow. Jentha is shown on her land, a grassy field with yellow flowers and bright blue skies. Her platform and talk with her denizen are not shown.
Jentha is a reserved and anxious troll who lives closed off to the outside world, being described by White Noise as {{VE Quote|wn|incredibly hard to find on many occasions}}. Her lost survival ability coupled with the absent nature of her lusus have left her with a persistent feeling of helplessness and uselessness. Nonetheless, she tends to be bitter and insulting when talking to most people, possibly as a way to overcompensate for her anxiety - a fact which she's shown being regretful of on certain occasions. Jentha often tries to be as unpleasant to talk to as possible when she wants to be left alone, which is a fairly common occurrence, as Jentha has thin patience for people that are not Dismas.


=== Act 3 Act 1 ===
She collects and cares for "outcast" toys, notably a collection of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furby furbies]. Due to having a lot of time to herself, she also has great skill in board games, along with a selection of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_SpongeBob_SquarePants_Movie best] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Over_the_Hedge_(film) movies] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Looney_Tunes:_Back_in_Action made]. She seems to harbor a "nursery" of toys for kids and other nostalgic interests.  
Jentha responds to Arcjec's memo, complaining about the Game's meteor mechanism that pushes the players into the game. She grumbles about her planet looking like a playground for grubs and her denizen looking like a traffic cone. Jentha then accusingly asks Arcjec where the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funko Funko] he promised to trade her was, but he brushes it off.


== Personality and Traits ==
== Relationships==
Jentha is an extremely shy and anxious troll who lives closed off to most of the outside world due to her anxiety and lack of survival ability to protect herself against the dangers on [[Repiton]]. She is described by White Noise as "[https://www.deconreconstruction.com/vasterror/816 Incredibly hard to find on many occasions.]" Contrary to her usually distressed her behavior, she tends to be extremely rude and insulting to people, possibly as a way to overcompensate for her anxiety. Jentha often tries to be as unpleasant to talk to as possible when wanting to be left alone, to the point of telling Occeus to jump off a cliff after he interrupted her free time{{VE|831}}. She is notably only outwardly concerned about her moirail, though this lapse in hostility doesn't apply to his [[Murrit Turkin|pitch partner]].

She seems to have "nursery" of toys for kids and nostalgic interests{{VE|817}}.  
===Dismas Mersiv===
[[Dismas Mersiv|Dismas]] and Jentha are in a moirallegiance, and their relationship is notably Jentha's only known committed relationship. Despite being anxiety-ridden and constantly struggling to get her thoughts into words, she is much calmer when in Dismas' presence, and he is very good at intuitively understanding her feelings. The two are very close and openly worry for the other's well being.


== Relationships ==
Dismas also provides for Jentha's material needs, as her anxiety has stopped her from being able to find a source of income on her own, a fact she is extremely grateful of. 


=== Dismas Mersiv ===
===Murrit Turkin===
[[Dismas Mersiv|Dismas]] and Jentha are in a moirallegiance, and their relationship is notably Jentha's only known committed relationship. The two are very close to one another, and openly worry for the other's well being. Despite being anxiety-ridden and constantly struggling to get her thoughts into words, she much calmer when in Dismas' presence, and he's very good at intuitively understanding her feelings. The two are especially of the same mind when it comes to dealing with Murrit, completely fed up and frustrated, but will nonetheless go along with his harebrained ideas.   
Jentha is often frustrated and distrustful of [[Murrit Turkin|Murrit]], due to his frequent antagonization of Dismas. She finds them to be obnoxious and annoying, but seems to have no problem with putting her foot down on behalf of her moirail when she feels the situation calls for it, outright insulting and calling the seadweller out whenever they act particularly terrible. Despite this, she doesn't seem to truly hate Murrit, thinking of her as an overbearing "stupidhead" rather than a malicious person.   


Dismas appears to provide nearly everything Jentha needs, both in terms of financial support and emotional comfort as his role as her moirail would dictate. While Dismas is typically aggressive towards most trolls, he's calm and nurturing when speaking to Jentha.
===Occeus Coliad===
[[Occeus Coliad|Occeus]] is Jentha's server player. She doesn't care much for him, having told him to go "jump off a cliff" when he came to her in distress. Occeus doesn't seem to pick up on the fact she's intentionally rude toward him, interpreting her snide comments as genuine, heartfelt advice. Despite her demeanor, he seems to put trust into Jentha, and when under enough stress, Jentha admits that she needs his help and feels guilty about being rude toward him before.


=== Murrit Turkin ===
===Sova Amalie===
Jentha has a great dislike for and distrust in [[Murrit Turkin|Murrit]] due to his frequent antagonization of Dismas and tendency to cause him pain. Like most people, Jentha finds Murrit to be obnoxious and annoying, but is further made more uncomfortable by their demeanor due to her anxiety issues and panic attacks. Jentha seems to be forceful and willing to put her foot down when interacting with Murrit on the behalf of her moirail, and outright insults and calls out the seadweller when he's acting especially terrible, a possible result of Dismas' influence. Despite this, she doesn't seem to hate Murrit by any means and just seems to think of her as a 'stupidhead'.
[[Sova Amalie|Sova]] is Jentha's client player. Not much is known about their relationship, though they have cooperated during Sova's entry process. Sova has shown concern for Jentha even when being brushed off, and Jentha has snidely referred to Sova as {{VE Quote|jentha|the one who c cares so much about e everyone}}.


=== Occeus Coliad ===
===Arcjec Voorat===
Jentha doesn't seem to care much about [[Occeus Coliad|Occeus]], telling him to jump off a cliff and that she doesn't care he needs her aid after he accidentally interrupted her. However, Occeus doesn't seem to pick up on the fact she's intentionally being rude, as he ends up believing she had helped him out when in reality he helped himself. He seems to put trust into Jentha while she does not seem to trust him. Under stress however, Jentha admits that she needs his help and felt guilty about being rude looking back.
While not much is known between Jentha and [[Arcjec]] as of right now, it has been said on [https://retrospring.net/@austinado Austin's Retrospring] that the two exchange opinions about certain media that Arcjec keeps away from everyone else.<ref>{{CiteSocial|whosaid=@austinado|platform=retrospring|date=17 Dec, 2023|quote=[Arcjec] keeps his opinions close to the chest when talking to most of the others except jentha. those two will find something completely unimportant and then tear it to shreds.|link=https://retrospring.net/@austinado/a/111593059074135371}}</ref>


=== Sova Amalie ===
==Trivia==
There is not much known about [[Sova Amalie|Sova]] and Jentha's relationship. Sova shows concern for a stressed Jentha even when brushed off, and Jentha calls Sova "{{VE Quote|jentha|the one who c cares so much about e everyone}}"{{VE|900}}.

Jentha Briati, also known by her Skorpe handle furbishFacilitated, is one of the main characters in Vast Error. Her associated alchemic sigil is Tin, and she is a deconstruction of the "useless" fantroll archetype.[1]

Jentha's survival ability is nuclear discharge, but it seems mostly inactive right now after repression.

She was the twelfth troll introduced and the ninth troll to enter the game.

Etymology

The surname Briati most likely comes from Sanskrit term brhati, a drug used within a branch of Ayurveda which attempted to increase life span and strength, but as a feminine adjective, the word also means various synonyms of strength.

Biography

Four passes

Jentha's early life is revealed in a flashback segment in Act 3 Act 1. Jentha was kept in high-level containment due to her extremely powerful survival ability, which allowed her to discharge and manipulate nuclear energy inherent to her cells DCRC icon.png. At an early age, it discharged automatically, prompting the reduplication cavern staff to keep her separate from other trolls her age, something that The Principal sought to make up for in some way DCRC icon.png.

Jentha met Dismas Mersiv during his time in school after he was sent to detention for a fight with Murrit Turkin. Instead of being connected with a teacher to write an apology note, the Principal connects Dismas with Jentha and they have a conversation DCRC icon.png, most likely the first Jentha has ever had with a troll her own age at the time, which she begins by correcting Dismas's typing errors. The two grew close over these messages, leading Dismas to recruit Albion Shukra in a mission to get Jentha out of her mould and take her to the playgrounds. On their way, it is revealed that Murrit had been tailing them the whole time, taking necessary steps to ensure they weren't caught by acting from the shadows. He uses this as leverage to convince them to let him join them, to which they all reluctantly agree.

After playing for some time, Murrit pushes Dismas off a construct, greatly upsetting Jentha and causing her survival ability to explode due to her lack of control over her emotions DCRC icon.png. This causes a massive incident that results in the deaths of several students and staff at the hands of a skulltitan, whom Jentha inadvertently grants power with her nuclear energy. Dismas distracts the lusus from attacking Jentha in a show of grubhood bravery as the Principal arrives to resolve the situation. Dismas is sent off to the dunes with the skulltitan through an application of Space alchemy, and Jentha is put to sleep by another type of alchemy.

Following the incident, priority was set on repressing Jentha's survival ability as hard as possible, leaving her severely traumatized and disabled (eyesight issues, a stutter, debilitating anxiety and depression).

Six sweeps

Once she reached six sweeps, she was sent off to live in an apartment in Stronghold 21 before deciding to instead wander the world for anywhere to fit in. She settled in the utopian ruins of The Renaissance, the same place turned to ash by her ancestor sweeps prior, where she meets a metamorphier lusus that takes her in. The lusus weaves a cocoon for themself shortly after, and is yet to emerge. DCRC icon.png

Jentha, all alone with nothing left, had already resigned herself to the fact that she was going to die alone before Dismas was led right to her by Murrit under the guise of an assassination mission. From then on, the two found solace in each other, entering a moirallegiance.

Pre-game

Jentha's first spoken line happens during one of Ellsee Raines's memos, Rinkadink Thinking TimΣ DCRC icon.png, when Jentha accidentally sends the letter "h" into the chat. The two have a humorous exchange in which Jentha silences and unsilences herself multiple times, before she finally bans herself from the memo altogether.

After her proper introduction, Jentha is interrupted from watching a stream when Occeus Coliad messages her, seeking advice about his personal woes. Later, she is brought into a Skorpe call with Dismas and Murrit after her moirail's altercation with his lusus, Murrit having sent her into a panic by claiming that Dismas was dead. Dismas calms Jentha down and Jentha berates Murrit for their behavior as Murrit loads Dismas onto an ore-powered minecart to get him back to his hive in time to be their server player.

Later, Jentha tries to assist Sova Amalie with her entry, whacking the inky creatures who are harassing her with some of the Game's pillars in an effort to drive them away. Panicked, Jentha messages Occeus to ask for help , but her attention is drawn away before he can respond: a glowing light shines behind her, taking the form of Af, the Denizen of Light, much to her starstruck wonder and the annoyance of White Noise, who bemoans the denizen's tendency to "go off script".

During the events of [S] Ellsee: Enter. DCRC icon.png, Jentha is led through utopian ruins as Af sets up her portal for her. They activate it, prompting Jentha to follow, and she is taken into her fully formed land, a planet comprised of grassy fields with yellow flowers and bright blue skies. Her platform and talk with her denizen are not shown.

During the game

Jentha wanders her planet only to find no possible means of progress, finally relenting and asking Af for assistance DCRC icon.png. They talk at length about Jentha's land and the fact that it was designed with no way to progress intentionally, as Jentha's quest will be much different from everyone else's. Af plans to give Jentha the final land quest task right out the gate and allow Jentha to achieve self-actualization much sooner than everyone else.

Af proceeds to remark on the traumatic nature of Jentha's past, something she had seemingly either forgotten about or chose to pretend never happened, which segues directly into her recollecting her aforementioned backstory DCRC icon.png.

Personality and Traits

Jentha is a reserved and anxious troll who lives closed off to the outside world, being described by White Noise as incredibly hard to find on many occasions. Her lost survival ability coupled with the absent nature of her lusus have left her with a persistent feeling of helplessness and uselessness. Nonetheless, she tends to be bitter and insulting when talking to most people, possibly as a way to overcompensate for her anxiety - a fact which she's shown being regretful of on certain occasions. Jentha often tries to be as unpleasant to talk to as possible when she wants to be left alone, which is a fairly common occurrence, as Jentha has thin patience for people that are not Dismas.

She collects and cares for "outcast" toys, notably a collection of furbies. Due to having a lot of time to herself, she also has great skill in board games, along with a selection of the best movies made. She seems to harbor a "nursery" of toys for kids and other nostalgic interests.

Relationships

Dismas Mersiv

Dismas and Jentha are in a moirallegiance, and their relationship is notably Jentha's only known committed relationship. Despite being anxiety-ridden and constantly struggling to get her thoughts into words, she is much calmer when in Dismas' presence, and he is very good at intuitively understanding her feelings. The two are very close and openly worry for the other's well being.

Dismas also provides for Jentha's material needs, as her anxiety has stopped her from being able to find a source of income on her own, a fact she is extremely grateful of.

Murrit Turkin

Jentha is often frustrated and distrustful of Murrit, due to his frequent antagonization of Dismas. She finds them to be obnoxious and annoying, but seems to have no problem with putting her foot down on behalf of her moirail when she feels the situation calls for it, outright insulting and calling the seadweller out whenever they act particularly terrible. Despite this, she doesn't seem to truly hate Murrit, thinking of her as an overbearing "stupidhead" rather than a malicious person.

Occeus Coliad

Occeus is Jentha's server player. She doesn't care much for him, having told him to go "jump off a cliff" when he came to her in distress. Occeus doesn't seem to pick up on the fact she's intentionally rude toward him, interpreting her snide comments as genuine, heartfelt advice. Despite her demeanor, he seems to put trust into Jentha, and when under enough stress, Jentha admits that she needs his help and feels guilty about being rude toward him before.

Sova Amalie

Sova is Jentha's client player. Not much is known about their relationship, though they have cooperated during Sova's entry process. Sova has shown concern for Jentha even when being brushed off, and Jentha has snidely referred to Sova as the one who c cares so much about e everyone.

Arcjec Voorat

While not much is known between Jentha and Arcjec as of right now, it has been said on Austin's Retrospring that the two exchange opinions about certain media that Arcjec keeps away from everyone else.[2]
