The metal doors of the elevator creaked open, revealing a well-lit hallway lined with office doors on either side.

"Let's go..."

A woman with silver hair and green eyes stepped out of the elevator, her heels tapping against the polished marble floor.

Katarina closely followed her mother, scanning her back as they made their way toward the end of the hallway.

Her emerald eyes scanned Carolina's straight back as they walked.

'She's still as strong as in previous attempts...'

Nodding her head, Katarina smiled, knowing that at least some things hadn't changed.

Her mind was drawn toward the irregularities that had appeared in this life.

Katarina's green eyes narrowed as she recalled a young man with piercing golden eyes and an eerily calm demeanor.

She remembered the first time she met him, in one of the combat classes.
