POV: Asher
Never thought Seiji could be so clingy, insisting on other plans even though we both knew this is the best and most efficient way to getting rid of that snake, and fundamental it is that, right one, we get rid of these two threats before their strength grows stronger.
I can only tense up as I phantom the future it holds for human kind if we fail today, ghouls roaming about in broad daylight while having a unique hive mind that would prompt them all to fight together in tune, such a thing that the humans could never master.
Because one thing is for certain, until this point the Snake had been only testing the grounds, experimenting, learning about her powers, about the reach of her control, and about battles and warfair.
And if her first attempt already resulted in the loss of a city… then even the Citadel would be doomed with her everlasting growing forces.
