Return of the traders
Yui's detailed narrative about her previous existence imbues the atmosphere with a grave solemnity as she recounts the dire events that unfolded after the outbreak began.
"After the onset of the pandemic, the researchers simply deserted us," she recounts with a trace of anguish. "We were ensnared in a distant research facility, utterly isolated and devoid of any means to flee. They withheld the crucial code that would unlock the gate and allow our escape."
Her gaze becomes shadowed with memories as she elaborates. "We endeavoured to make do with the scant provisions left behind at the facility."
An oppressive silence envelops the room, magnifying the impact of her tale, which vividly depicts intense desperation and abandonment. "I was utterly bewildered as to why the authorities would abandon us in such a dire situation, but as events unfolded, the harsh reality became painfully clear," she adds, her voice imbued with a bitter undertone.
