"I see. You want coins?"
Then I laughed.
"Why should I?"
I looked around at the people. The first quest was the original sin. Thus, none of the people here were innocent.
That made it more disgusting. Those who trampled on someone else to survive, who couldn't even bear responsibility for their own life.
The air grew heavy with tension as my words hung in the air, the crowd's hopeful expressions crumbling into disbelief and despair. I could feel their accusatory gazes boring into me, their desperation palpable as they realized that their hopes of salvation were slipping away.
But I remained unmoved, my resolve unshaken by their pleas and accusations. I had seen their true colours, witnessed the depths of their selfishness and greed, and I refused to be swayed by their false displays of innocence.
"You… you can't be serious," one of the women whispered, her voice trembling with disbelief. "You can't just abandon us like this."
