"I... am... already... sending... what... was... requested," she says rigidly and haltingly, as if the very notion is absurd and painful for her.
"Don't be so stingy, Vivienne. This is nothing compared to what you have. Furthermore, you will have to provide other support due to the war situation, which is escalating rapidly," I tell her with severity.
