~Lenora~

My lips trembled as I stepped outside. The party for Eleanor still went on inside, and the music could be heard even as I walked step by step away from that building.

My heart ached, and my eyes burned, but I tried to hold back every emotion that had plagued me. I had made my decision, and it couldn’t be changed.

The path to the clearing was quiet. No one could accompany me on this journey, so I found myself silently crying, listening to the chirping of cicadas and birds as the sun’s rays pierced the sky.

Upon stepping into the clearing, I saw a man waiting, it was the very same Gamma that I had met when I went to volunteer myself as the sacrifice.
