Aqua could not describe the feeling of hollowness she felt inside her heart. It was as if a part of her had been torn apart but it could not be physically felt by her.
The feeling of loneliness was…overwhelming in such a situation and Aqua gasped as she clutched her chest. It was getting a little too much for her liking.
"It seems like you have finally understood where you stand in our hierarchy. In that case, I will let you leave now. Do not disappoint me again, Aqua."
The boss stood up and walked away. But before exiting the room, he thought of something and turned around. He looked at Aqua with his calm but torturing eyes.
"Oh, but you can get your other half back if you bring a sacrifice for us to experiment on instead. The better your sacrifice is for us, the more we will hand back to you. Who knows, we might even free you."
Aqua gasped as soon as she heard those words. These words were the ones she had wanted to hear her whole life.
