Maureen didn’t want to stay alone in such vast emptiness, so she returned to her room.

She took out her phone and played some music.

“Boom-!”

Thunder cracked outside as lightning split the sky.

Soon, rain poured down relentlessly.

Maureen stared blankly at the downpour. She’d nearly fallen asleep when car sounds approached outside, followed by the doorbell.

Maureen felt no obligation to explain, stepping aside to leave.

Maureen hadn’t processed it when Geoffrey yanked her backward the next instant.

Geoffrey rushed forward.

Andrea lay on the ground, rain washing blood from her head.
