Kalai
When we went back to the fortress, the sun already set. I was so tired that I just ate a little. While lying in my bed with my pets and Hyakka on one side, I recalled Sattiri’s fervent plea. But I remained firm on my belief and didn’t let her out of the cage despite the fact that I took pity on her and the others.
“I’m sorry. I can’t just trust what you’re saying to me. I need to know you’re telling us the truth. For that, you need to be patient.”
Her tears continued to roll down her sullied face. She glanced at the others who looked disappointed and miserable. If I were in their dirty and tattered robes, I’d feel the same. No wonder they kept killing themselves, but they couldn’t just die.
