"No, you don't," I replied irritably. "What happened to your friends? Your teammates from Vermillion Academy?"
Unlike me, Lilith was able to meet up with her friends and stick together with them. Apparently they had reunited sometime during the three days when she was chasing me, but she had insisted on pursuing me, so they just kept their distance and allowed her to. After I had defeated her, I had seen her going back to her team, and enjoyed a few days of solace.
…until today.
"They've been wiped out." Lilith looked extremely pale. She glanced behind her, as if watching out for somebody, and then turned back to me with a shake of her head. Tears welled up in her eyes. "I couldn't save any of them."
"W…wait, what? What's going on?" I scowled, completely bewildered. "Start from the beginning. Wiped out by who? Save them from who?"
