Section 123: Journey to the Center

-Aria POV-

A day has passed by, I fell asleep on the rooftop by accident. No one comes to see me, then again I must have looked crazy from their point of view. Joel didn't visit me either, I can guess that he's a bit shocked. Then again, he would be shocked after he saw how I tortured that Howard until he's unable to speak.

I'm not sure what overcame me that day, all I felt was disdain and hatred toward Howard because of what he did to my friend. He was about to strangle Kallen, and his comrade Mira hit Chrysant. I could only watch how they beat them up from the shadow. Since then, something has resurfaced inside me.

An immense feeling of bloodthirst engulfed my mind at that time, the feeling when I tortured that man and smelled the thick blood coming out from his skin made me feel addicted. It's not a normal reaction, I shouldn't have felt this kind of feeling in the first place.
