I closed my eyes and let out a shuddering breath. My fingers were numb and cold, my arm aching where the needle pierced the vein. Something clattered onto the pavement, and I looked down to see the needle. It had slipped out of my hand. Nothingness swirled around me, bringing the first sense of peace I'd felt in my short, miserable life. There was no one to miss me, and no one I would miss. There's always someone else to beat or rape. The regulars would move on quickly. I died. Only...wasn't death supposed to be dark? And since when did 'nothingness' have so many gods?

After the morning's excitement, I was relieved to reunite with Elise and R'lissea. They waited anxiously in the inn's common room, already packed and ready to depart. As we waited for the rest of the infernal horde to assemble, I filled them in on what had happened, omitting the more embarrassing moments, like when Luke hugged me out of nowhere.
