She laid in her bed, silently contemplating her entire life.

What was it all for?

Rebuilding her family tarnished reputation by becoming a harbinger, being the most feared person in her own nation, just to not even be seen as an actual human being.

She wiped any tears that threatened to fall; she wouldn't waste any tears on that wretched woman. She couldn't even think of the name without feeling disgusted. Did everyone else know her true feelings about them?

No, surely not.

There's no way in hell all the powerful people she knew as her superiors would stand to be treated as pawns in her twisted game.

So, I was right.

Of course I am– no one knows about her true feelings about us.

I was presented with two options:

tell him, and let him know the truth about this organization.

Or, let him stay in the dark; ignorance is bliss after all.

"You want the truth..?"

"Obviously? Why'd you say it that way?"

She took a breath, before looking up at him.

"She doesn't..she doesn't care about our lives. When I told her Signora died.. All she had the nerve to say was that she needed to 'get a replacement sooner than she expected' or some bullshit like that. She doesn't even–"
