Hadn't reached the finish line, have you?

[Oxley Island]

"Goodness."

Ivy stared at the ruins of the Oxley Mansion and shook her head. Since the end of the battle, she had been working hand in hand with Interpol, the Secret Society, and even as the minister's assistant. This matter involved the Secret Society, and because of that, all of them were discreet about it.

They wanted to keep this under wraps, which was for the best.

Still, seeing the main battlefield brought a tightness to her chest.

"He was here?" she murmured, thinking about Tiger.

Ivy was around the area during the battle. However, she was on a battleship. Even though she witnessed the fierceness of the battlefield, she couldn't imagine how it was to be in the middle of the chaos.

Tiger was on this very hill, inside these ruins. If she didn't see how things unfolded, she would never understand the dangers Tiger always faced as a member of the reapers.
