21. why Vinola can't read

Vinola with hands over ebook – always hands, never eyes. Ina thinks she can’t read; Michæl checks with Vinola herself.
Vinola: "Reading is same but sluggish."
Michæl: "Little letters under your eyes, that’s diff’rent baby."
Michæl invokes Ina:
"Please, do tell her..."
Ina shrugs.
