Thorn Part 4

YUHI

"T-thank you."

"For now-" Yuhi looked around the cell. It was awful, there wasn't even a proper bed. The man's clothes were torn. Yuhi takes out a black cloak from his bag. "Try to stay alive. Just remember this, crying and begging will not get you anywhere. Lay low and avoid the guards as much as you can. Not everyone is bad, there are those who have been fighting for better conditions for you."

At those words the man paused. "D-did-did Sumire-san send you here?"

Yuhi paused. "Do you know Sumire?"

He nodded. "She showed up here a year ago and stopped them from beating up a child that was brought in. She made such a grand announcement that 'if we don't want to die, then we have to find a way to survive' until she finds a way to fight for better conditions for us. She would frequently drop by and give us food." 

That sounds like something she would do.

"Has she not come here for a while?"
