Marked By Betrayal
Melody muttered to herself, happily feasting her eyes on the attractive bodies of the Herveaux trainees.
As the trainees jogged, they appeared to be in varying degrees of effort, but at the back of the line, Melody spotted Shouta running as if he had lead weights strapped to his ankles. Despite his obvious struggle, his youthful vigor was unmistakable, wearing his lone white t-shirt amidst his topless companions.
Melody couldn't help but chuckle, not out of mockery or belittlement, but because she found Shouta's determination endearing. Even though he was the youngest among the trainees, she admired his unwavering dedication to practice despite struggling to keep up with the rest.
