Chapter 190

Sez returned to her quarters. Well, technically speaking, she was more dragged along than anything. She cried, struggled, and screamed, but it was all in vain.
Nobody came to Sez's aid. No one stopped Rayton. Sez alone could not accept the reality of her situation.

Sitting on the bed, Sez looked as if she’d already died. There was no sign of hope on her face.
"Please, just leave me. I'm begging you..."
Rayton had said something unforgivable to Sez. Even if she were to leave, even if she were to survive on her own... how could she possibly endure it? Now, she couldn't even follow Rayton in death. Sez remained motionless, shedding tears without a stir. Before long, the unremittingly closed door edged open slowly.

Eton didn’t say anything as he looked at Sez. She stared back at him too. Countless emotions passed between them. But now, they were indistinguishable: sadness; pain; regret; attachment.
