Chapter 37: Seeing You Smile
While Tarah was writing all the details she recalled regarding Priest Saul’s past, an idea suddenly flickered into her mind. Looking further, her face brightened due to the high chance of things working out in her favor.

It was chaos, and Tarah couldn’t help the tears that fell from her eyes as she watched it all unfold. She noticed something off in the scenes unfolding but she couldn’t exactly tell what.
