An Extra’s POV

"This… is it."

Right in front of Rey was a door. It was so poorly made that it seemed crooked at best.

Any sufficient pressure applied to it would be enough to break the door into bits.

'They put slaves behind this? Are they not worried they'll try to escape?'

Rey surmised that the captors were probably confident that the captives would be unable to escape, so he shrugged the thought from his mind.

'Alicia and Billy are both strong. The people here must have a way to restrain them.'

That told Rey that he couldn't be complacent.

He activated [Safe Haven], just in case, and proceeded to open the door.

~CREAK~

The door easily opened without Rey exerting much of an effort, and it revealed a room shrouded in darkness to him.

'What's this smell…?' A sickly sweet smell filled the air, making Rey nearly nauseated.

Thankfully, his [Full Resistance] kicked in. Still, he felt like it would be safer to leave as quickly as possible.

'This is probably a sedative that keeps them this way.'

Rey used his Flare to lighten up the place, seeing four people inside.

His eyes instantly darted to the one that mattered most to him.

'Alicia!'

The dirty ground stained her unkempt brown hair, and her casual outfit had the form of rags. Her pure skin was marred with dirt, and her eyes were tightly shut.

She was unconscious, and her body seemed frail as she lay in a corner.

She honestly seemed like a fresh corpse.

Rey's eyes widened as he rushed to her side with unimaginable speed.

As he touched her body, he realized she felt cold—too cold!

'A-ah!' He placed his ears close to her chest, not minding the softness that greeted him as he did so.

'She's still alive!' His thoughts echoed within.

Rey swiftly brought out the White Amber and slipped it into its rightful place.

The moment he did this, a bright light suddenly enveloped Alicia.
