12 parts Ongoing Tears welled in her eyes, but she fought to keep them at bay, her hands trembling in defiance of the pain surrounding her. The room was heavy with unspoken sorrow, every face filled with gloom-except for one. A single cold gaze pierced through her, offering no solace.
"This is for the good of your future," he said, his voice devoid of compassion.
