"I know it's hard, Helena, but you know..."
"Some sacrifices are necessary for the greater good... right?" Helena interrupted, her voice soft yet resolute as if trying to convince herself as much as Aria.
A faint, almost sorrowful smile tugged at her lips as she cast a glance toward Victor, who was mercilessly throwing the elite-class students and professors outside of the dome.
Helena could feel the weight of the situation pressing down on her chest, a suffocating dread that threatened to crush her. She understood all too well.... everyone had reached their limit. The sight of Aria's bloodied and battered body was a cruel testament to their dire situation. It was only a matter of time before that monster would finish them all off, one by one.
But before that inevitable end, they had to make choices.... horrible, heart-wrenching choices.
They had to prioritize those who were deemed more important!!!
