An Extra’s POV

Brute facts of nature are immutable aspects of existence that cannot be changed.

They exist as a reminder that there are things we can't control.

Things like death, suffering, inequality, pain—they are all examples of brute facts that remain inevitable till date.

Even if concepts like gravity, space, and time can somehow be bypassed or bended to a certain degree—thanks to Skill and whatnot—the aforementioned remain essential aspects of reality that cannot change.

Britta instantly snapped out of her thoughts as soon as a deep, loud voice called out for her.

Once she returned to reality, he let her go—though the aftereffects of his tight grip remained as a sensation.

"There are a total of 47 Monsters here. A few of them are hiding behind the dense walls of the trees."

"I see…" Jet's explanation did nothing to assuage her worries.

It only made her more assured of her fate.
