Felix witnessed Linsy's panic for the first time. She shuddered, kneeled, and tightly hugged Roselin's waist while crying as if she wanted to crush her bones. Not to mention the resulting hysteria reverberating throughout a bunker.
"No! We're going to die here. I don't want to die before becoming the first female Master of Academia!"
"You're not going to die here!" said Anastasia, welcoming death. "Not alone…."
It's funny how it's going to end. Anastasia faced reality. Death. What a brave girl.
The massive explosion from the last sentry robot shook the burrow, nearly shattering the eardrums.
Felix pulled Anastasia into his arms, pressed against the back of her head, turning his back on the explosion. Basil teaches him always to protect the women and Anastasia, who was closest, so it happens.
"Don't be afraid," whispered Felix, trying to calm himself.
Shivering, Anastasia returned her arms around Felix's waist, burying her face in his chest. "I'm scared."
