Without hesitation, Erin blurted, “No!”

If she were still her old self, she would want to see her family as soon as possible and reassure them not to worry. But now, in her current state, she didn’t have the courage to face them.

Erin’s emotions gradually went back to those of a normal person. Her illogical resilience was baffling. Given the circumstances, she had no other choice but to be strong. What didn’t kill her would ultimately turn into a source of strength that would spur her to keep
