Chapter 108: | No Such Thing As Kindness

𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐀 

(Flashback continues)

As I stood there, cold water slicing through my skin, I kept thinking that it wasn't enough. The punishment wasn't enough. I screwed up. I made the mistake of sharing, yet I was the one still breathing. All she did was accept the tiny piece of meat I had offered her, but she was the one who lay face down on the floor, dead… in the dungeon right across from me. They kept the lights on so I could look at her corpse, and I could see what my act of kindness had cost. After only a short while, I started to smell the stench of kindness as well. 

I didn't listen. I didn't obey.
