Erasing the Alpha’s Mark
It was the familiar, tearful voice of Sandy.
She appeared behind the crowd, sobbing, and the cameras immediately turned to her.
In the past, whenever Mike heard Sandy cry, he'd be heartbroken. He'd drop everything to comfort her.

He didn't even glance at Sandy. He just stood up and stared directly into one of the cameras.
Mike in the video seemed like a completely different person. The one who cared so much about his image now had heavy dark circles, red-rimmed, exhausted eyes.
