The world is ending.

And I'm saving whatever left of humanity that can be spared.

When Alice Zephanie had died, people mourned her and her all too sudden demise. She was killed mercilessly.

A year after, Marcus started a tradition to commemorate the deaths of loved ones.

The grand hall would be packed with people from The Mesial and from all over the Zones. It was that one day when everyone seemed to be in unity in remembering those who weren't with us anymore. It was that one day that I wished to never have existed.

Catching sight of Rafael's observant stare, I plastered a smile, linking my arms to his.

Arm in arm, we entered the grand hall where only a few weeks ago, we were wed. It was fully packed with people. A somber atmosphere hangs in the air.
