"He's never killed anyone... Just like I used to be—a kind person." Lila thought to herself, her gaze softening. After spending so much time with the twisted members of the Black Hand Legion, meeting someone like Ethan felt like a breath of fresh air. He was... different.
It was as if a string deep in her heart had been plucked.
She had been running for her life in this post-apocalyptic world, enduring humiliation and hardship just to survive. Her soul was exhausted, and all she wanted was to find someone she could truly lean on.
Suddenly, a strong determination surged within her—she didn't want Ethan to die. Maybe she could bring him into the organization for now, and later... find a chance for the two of them to escape together, to leave all of this behind.
"If anything unexpected happens later, you have to listen to me. It might be the only way to keep you alive."
