After Sam's funeral, I didn't get the chance to rest as the founding celebration came right after. Despite the chaos that transpired, everyone still celebrated it by honoring those who had lost their life the other night. Those who had lost a brother, a sister, a child, a spouse, a parent, a friend… wept.
I felt bad for this country.
We were all being deceived, as the culprit from that night still stood mightily, talking to his people, giving his sincerest condolences. Stefan was portraying himself as everyone's savior, giving them empty promises of protecting them.
It made me sick. I wanted to throw up, watching him from this distance as he made a heartfelt speech that moved these pitiful people.
"I heard you are setting off today." Zero's voice came to my side.
I cast him a brief glance. "My purpose in this place is over. I don't see any reason to stay idle in here."
