Chapter 31 - The Song of Farewell
"...Everything happened so suddenly."
The man’s name was Jobe.
His unfocused eyes rolled around, and his voice — as rough as his furrowed brow — barely held together.
"At first, it was just screams. I—I thought Skeletons had invaded. A huge monster appeared by the stairs. We reacted just like we practiced. We tried... we tried to hold the line outside..."
The problem was, the attack came from behind, too.
A hand bursting through a stomach.
Teeth tearing into a shoulder.
The images of his comrades dying grotesque deaths flickered across Jobe’s mind like a broken reel.
He wasn’t even looking at Jhin’s group anymore.
He stared blankly into the air, speaking in a fractured voice — staring into his own past.
