Hero
"Well, as for you Lara, I've decided that you're worth keeping alive." I said as I smiled at the young woman.
A look of relief broke out on Lara's stoic face, causing her to relax a little. She bowed a little and thanked me for sparing her life, as though it was only natural.
This felt a little strange, considering she was five years older than me. Still, I had to get used to such treatment. After all, this was how the weak addressed the strong.
—And I was strong!
"W-what about me?" Larry asked, cutting into my thoughts with a shivering voice.
His eyes displayed hope that I would spare him since I had done the same for Lara. Unfortunately, his hopes were all for naught.
"Oh? You're going to die here." I said blankly.
This caused Larry's eyes to bulge. His face told me that he was processing millions of thoughts as he tried to understand my decision.
"B-but why?!" He snapped, feeling a mix of anxiety, fear, and anger.
