Instead of living her life peacefully, she fell into an even more pitiful hell. A wanderer told Claire that she was a cursed soul. Will she survive this predicament?

Eliza put her arm around Claire's shoulder, pulling her closer to the crowd.
"You know, it's not a sin to stop and enjoy life once in a while, right?" Eliza said with a light laugh, as if she could read Claire's troubled heart.

Everyone seemed to have a place, a purpose, and people who cared.
As for her?

Here, the crowd seemed to creep around every corner; residents and merchants spilled out, creating an almost unbroken flow of people.
