The evening gradually faded, making way for, and welcoming the night, but it also worsened Nori's depression.
The pain in her body could not rival the confusion and torture in her heart. How she could be chained up and punished for a crime she had no knowledge of was still an enigma to her.
Out of fear of getting flogged again, she decided against asking the man sitting in the other end of the room any further question.
However, her mind didn't stay quiet. All her nineteen years on earth, she didn't remember committing any crime worth the kind of punishment she was getting at that moment.
