章節 54: Night guards

Alicia had been told countless times that as soon as the curfew began, everyone was supposed to remain in their rooms with their lights out, so she didn't think there was any trouble looking out the window. After such a nightmare, all she wanted was fresh air, and sitting inside the darkroom was not going to help her achieve that or think properly. 

So, she opened the curtains and looked out the window. A few torches were burning, but no one was in sight. Even the sounds of animals chirping or running around could not be heard. The silence made her uncomfortable, but she remained there, lost in her thoughts and wondering what awaited her if she didn't leave as soon as possible.
