Chapter 152: Identification/Marks

Angela sat quietly in the back seat as they drove through the winding roads of Mistvale. She knew these streets well after going out with Taros twice. A soft smile touched her lips as the memories came back. She wished she could have more of those moments with him, moments that made her feel alive.

The car came to a sudden halt. She blinked and looked around, realizing they had reached the marketplace. The doors opened one after the other.

"Are you alright?" Stales asked, tapping her shoulder gently. Everyone else had stepped out except the two of them. She gave a small nod, but he studied her and said, "You don’t look too well."

Before she could speak, Hiro’s voice cut in. "Are the both of you going to come out, or do you need a special invitation?"

Angela let out a sigh and stepped down from the car, standing beside it. The air was heavy with evening sounds, and the glow of lanterns was already spreading as night crept closer. The town was just as lively as she remembered. The noise of cars, the laughter and chatter of people, the smell of food drifting through the air—it reminded her of how much she had missed the outside world.

The academy had kept her safe, but it had also kept her locked away. Out here, beyond those walls, the world felt vast and beautiful.

"Do I have to beg you to move too?" Hiro asked as he stood in front of her. To her surprise, he took the hoodie from her hands and helped her slip it on. Then he handed her a nose mask.

Angela wore it and gave him a questioning look. He smiled, and it made her brows draw together in confusion.

"You look disguised now. Your wannabe uncle might not recognize you," Hiro said lightly as he motioned for the others to move. "Let’s go."

"Are you talking about Marcus?" Angela asked as she followed.

"Yes. Of course."
