Chapter 73 - The glass palace
Stepping out of the vehicle, Lucien stood frozen at the marvel of human ingenuity. A humongous glass tower, reaching all the way to the sky. In fact, standing in front of it, Lucien felt so infinitesimally small, like never before.
From where he was standing, he had to squint his eyes and focus to even see the top floors of the colossal structure.
Sera, standing by his side on the pavement, looked at his Young Master with a delighted expression. She enjoyed how he was lost in something that actually felt like nothing to her. Though like him, she reacted similarly, though for vastly different reasons.
For her, this untainted, living, breathing metropolis was alike the single ray of hope piercing through the despairing darkness of the night.
