Chapter 34

Saying it out loud made my heart feel heavier. But if I stopped talking to myself, I felt like I’d forget how to speak altogether. A frozen sensation lingered in my chest, aching dully. The dark, damp cave walls looked unbearably cold—this suffering always came in exchange for the solace the cave provided.

The sound of frantic footsteps—multiple monsters. I moved toward the noise, careful not to be noticed.

Two-meter-tall monsters darting between the trees.
