Part 2/8:
As Millie cowers and snaps at the air, the narrator reassures her, explaining that it's just a bug and may bite but ultimately isn't worth the fuss. They comfort Millie, promising a special "magic medicine" coming the next day that will make her feel better—an herbal or medicinal supplement hidden in her food to aid her recovery.
Exploring the Property and Maintaining the Land
Despite the insect invasions, the narrator takes a moment to inspect their property, specifically focusing on trail maintenance. Yesterday, they cleared away tall weeds and overgrowth, making the paths more accessible for walking. The yard looks cleaner, and the process of knocking down and removing dense vegetation prepares the area for future cleanup once the leaves wither.
