Monke and the Siege (5)

We were now back at the Monster Town after a quick detour and a bite to eat. Luke and Nicholas followed the both of us (Catalina decided to separate for the time being to talk with Tigre and his group of demi-humans) because they felt that it was a part of their responsibility to correct the mistake they have made.

And that is to stop Erika from ever harming any more innocent lives… Permanently.

It's a sad scene to see Drake, Nicholas, and Luke melancholic like that, but that's life. Sometimes, it gives you what you want. Most of the time, they throw a curveball at you and you can't help but rage at the world for what it has done.

"Hey, Drake, you gonna be alright?" I inquired the downtrodden figure, who was busy ruminating on his thoughts. He perked up and looked at me with a smile that told me everything I needed to know.
