"Leave none alive!"

"Sir, yes, sir!"

Those voices came from the sounds of the soldiers marching through the woodland, hunting down our kind. Although it was impossible for us to perceive their conversations, Match and I heard the players with ease. It was as if the library itself made it possible for us to pry in their goals.
