On the plane, I saw a family of three chatting happily about their vacation plans. Once, that was the kind of life I used to envy. But now, whether it was love or hate toward Marcus, it had all faded into nothing. I arrived at a new pack and completed my new identity papers. In that moment, both my body and mind felt lighter than they ever had before. Breathing in air that finally felt free, I stepped into a brand new world with quiet anticipation. -

But it wasn’t enough. “What else?” I asked. Silence. Longer this time. Then. “Free.” That word hit deeper than anything else. Because that. That was the one thing I had been fighting for. The one thing I had almost lost. The one thing I had tried to build here. My chest tightened. “Define free.” A pause. Then. “Capable of choice without forced outcome.” I exhaled slowly. “Yeah…” “That’s right.” The space pulsed. Aligned.

Chandler stepped closer, frowning as he gently wiped away my tears. "Alina, please don't cry. I still love you." "Love?" The bitterness slipped out before I could stop it. "Well, your version of love sure is special." Chandler sighed defeatedly. "Do we really have to argue? Can't we just talk this through?" "You're saying that like I'm the unreasonable one." I wiped the tears from my face, stood up, and turned away, coldly giving him a last glance. "I don't want to see you right now."

Anthony wouldn't be too happy when she told him she would have to live on campus for a while. She read the letter some more. Not only did she get into the program, but they are also offering her a full scholarship. This was a dream come true. She knew Anthony would have paid for her anyway, but she felt proud to know that she didn't need his help for this. She did this all on her own. "What's with all the commotions?" someone asked. Anthony was home! "Anthony, hi. I was just reading this letter," Faith squealed. "What is it?" Anthony asked.

The documents were printed screenshots of Rachel's WhatsApp group chat with her roommates. Rachel: "Joel's wife and Michael's wife called them asking for help. I told them women get jealous and love to test people for no reason, and that models should stay put. "They believed me without question and didn't even bother to dig deeper. Two pregnant women—one of them even rolled down a hill during a thunderstorm. This is going to be so entertaining! Sabrina Johnson: "Rachel, this could cost lives. Don't you think you're taking it too far?"

"You really are loyal, sticking to Luna like a shadow." Quinn's face was drained of color. He dropped to his knees in a panic. "York, I swear I've never had any disloyalty toward you!" As soon as he knelt, the men who had come with him followed suit, hitting the floor in unison. Luna, clueless, blinked at the crowd of kneeling men. Still, she pleaded on their behalf, "Quinn only brought me here, that's all. He didn't do anything wrong! Besides, I can't even use your men now?"

"Before I died, I buried your ashes somewhere he'd never be able to find." Grandma even told me that the Fishers eventually donated all their assets to the country, dedicating their resources to public welfare, healthcare, and education. She said, "This is something the Fishers owed you. I figured you'd be glad with my arrangement." Grandma was eager to tell me about Harvey's and Nelly's fates. However, I smiled and replied, "I don't want to know. I've been troubled by them before death, so I don't want the same to happen after I die."

"Luke, these clothes are really nice. Did you buy them?" Rachel frowned beside him. "Yeah, why did you buy so many clothes? Do you have a lot of spare cash?" I said nothing and just started putting away all the clothes. However, Logan seemed to have thought of something and smiled. "Rachel, I'm new here and don't know anyone. I'm afraid I'll get ripped off when buying clothes. Luke has so many clothes. How about giving me a few?" "No problem. He usually does manual labor and doesn't need to dress too nicely." Rachel readily agreed before turning around and giving me a stern look to pressure me. "You won't be able to wear them anyway. Pick out a few for Logan later."

After a sigh she continues. "The other planets decided that human males weren't strong enough to actually provide aid... (Tursa licks her lips) To be honest the Shikaz, Gaimo, Vaal, Frole, Peulo, Glortinon and Kea people are still free because the Cok, Hassin, Bronkark, and Makskin people joined them. If they hadn't we would have already fallen. Physically we are too weak against our enemy," Tursa says before meeting my eyes again and I gasp as I see her tears.
