It had taken her a lot of effort to get through each stage. Her ranking gave her the opportunity to make a debut. She couldn’t afford to be dismissed.

When they found Noelle, she was soaked through. She was curled into a tight ball and trembling. Her voice was hoarse from crying.

“Why?” Kari asked, unconvinced.
“Not all apologies deserve forgiveness, and I have the final say here.”
Lucinda had been on edge for the past few days, and Kari’s words only fueled her anger.
