"No, no, no, Hilary, it's not about you, it's them who are filthy, it's nothing to do with you." Aldana Candi's heart almost shattered at her words. Born as a human, why is it so painful? Why can't one even live like an ant for long, always facing the fear of being erased at any moment? It's not their fault, but so many innocent people have died, killed by them, while the executioners continue to live well, living well to murder more innocent lives.
"Aldana..." She struggled to open her eyes, bloodshot eyes staring at her, "Promise me... that you'll get out of here, alright? You're right, how can we let it be born in a place like this? Give birth to it, let it see the world for me, and make sure it lives a happier life than I did, happier than us..."
Her voice suddenly broke.
In Aldana Candi's ears, there was only the sound of the waves, the sound of the sea breeze, and between the sky and the earth, there was no longer the faint breathing of the girl.
