- A week later -
Sloth was sprawled at the backseat of Pride's car as Childish Gambino was bumping on the radio. Wrath had been picking on the price sticker of the new car freshener for the whole duration of their ride. It was the last day of their exam and the juniors were the first to head to their designated meeting spot.
The sky was foreboding with a layer of ashy overcast of clouds. Pride had a confident grip on the steering wheel and a smile full of satisfaction. As the lane narrowed and vegetations grew wilder, the ambience became drastically more serene. Orange and brown leaves decorated the dry branches and twigs like a burning Christmas tree. Birds and wild forest critters roamed freely; soaking in the last few weeks of warmth before the harsh winter.
From now and then Pride caught a glimpse of his friend's frustration over the peeled paper sticker. Sloth had woken up from his nap and slouched over to check on his friends.
