The sun had already set. My colonists just sat in silence. Leva's body was still lying in the middle of the room, covered by the blanket decorated with the large bloodstain.
"Well, Ivan really disappeared," Seb said quietly. "Does this mean we sacrificed people again, but this time we got no results?"
Seb was clearly referring to some of the craziest things I've done for this colony, especially about the salt cave and Congraylham.
"What do you mean by that, Seb?" Unusually, Kat asked like that. The amber-eyed ladies didn't look at Seb at all.
Seb had opened his mouth again, maybe to argue. But he chose to shake his head instead. "Nothing."
Gwen looked at me with a curious expression.
"That's a long story." I sighed. "And now I'm not in the mood to tell."
"I understand Seb's feelings." Manu joins in. "We do all that to survive indeed, but we will never be able to forget the guilt we feel."
Can we still be called humans if they or I lose that guilt?
