Celeste let her shoulders loosen a fraction, the tightness releasing incrementally, muscles remembering how to exist without constant vigilance. Her finger lowered, the warning no longer necessary.

Amryth's a small town forgotten by everyone outside of it, It stands still in time, and the people who live here go through the same cycles as well.

Now come over here so I can reward you!" He holds my wrist and drag me into the bathroom.
