章 73: The Black Cat, Part Eight

{Zenith}

By the time she and Asuka got back, the front of the station was, once again, littered with bodies. 

This time, Julia stood at the center of it all, blood decorating her armor. 

"... good? I'm just asking, are you sure?" Zenith heard Julia talking to someone. It looked like she was checking in on everyone. 

Soon, the girl finally noticed Zenith and Asuka walking in. 

"You missed the party, I'm afraid." 

"Another raid?" Zenith asked as both parties walked up to each other. 

"Indeed," Julia sighed. "Lost around 8 on our side. They lost 16." 

"Tragic." Zenith's eyes remained cold as they passed over the bodies. Asuka, however, looked far more horrified as she walked around, almost like checking the bodies to see if there was anyone she could heal. Anyone she could save.
