CHAPTER 136

Pinna held her knees, wrapping herself as the coldness of loneliness began to hold her captive. This was the end, she knew. She will never see Ham or Matt again. They were gone. They were dead. She bit her under lips, holding it tightly with her lips until she tasted blood. She had never felt so alone and empty before. Jeff and Ema were gone. And now Ham and Matt. So Stupid. She gnashed her teeth, blaming herself for not seeing this all along. It should have been her that's lying on the cylinder. She should have seen Matt's trick all along.

Her eyes darted away from Ham, to Nebula where Matt was. He looked so peaceful in his sleep. And beautiful. It was true that she had not spent much time with Matt, but she was ready to make up for it. She was ready to start their friendship afresh. She was ready to give her all to make sure none of them lose their lives.
