After news broke out about the military's successful operation in apprehending the rebels, life went on in Nisia as if nothing grave happened. Everything went back to normal as if lives and liberty weren't threatened by the very group who claimed to fight for their rights.
Smoke and honks from cars occupied the streets, and people from all walks of life marched on to their destination.
Inside the car, Olivia's eyes absorbed the passing view of the metro, bustling with life and energy.
She was on her way to the Lin Mansion after her Auntie Martha summoned her that morning.
Whatever the reason was, Auntie Martha didn't divulge it, but the urgency in her tone was enough to peel Olivia off of her bed.
Suddenly, her phone rang, snapping her out of her state of daze.
"Are you on your way?" Auntie Martha greeted. "Hurry uuup, darling."
"I'll be there in twenty minutes, Auntie. What is the rush for?"
"Just… you'll know once you're here."
