章 686: Last Stop (Part 2)

Kamila pressed a button on her amulet, making Lith's hologram become life-sized and he did the same. She tried to grab the hologram's hand, but there was nothing to touch and it wasn't even warm.

Lith kept his hand open, letting her palm touch his, in the only form of contact they could share.

"You know what? You are right. I think I wouldn't feel so bad if I had asked Jirni to have them immediately executed. It's just that even though Fallmug is a scumbag, I attended their marriage. I even spent some time with him when Zinya was giving birth.

"He's still someone I know, not just a faceless criminal with a record I have to study." Kamila said.

"I also think you have yet to recover from the attempted murder." Lith said. "The first time is always shocking."

The memory of Fallmug's attack, with all its possible implications, made Kamila shiver and seek the comfort of a heavy blanket.
