The Truth

Icterine walks through her society that might claim her for eternity. She dreads the word 'Argaron' being called on the day of her graduation. They are in their 11th year now and the reality of the situation is dire.

She watches her brothers walking to the train and her friends taking their one-year-old brother to the daycare that they can't afford. Her friends walk alongside her with their brother in fern clothes and his happiness is so bright.

Navy, Nicolette and Siren are graduating in the coming year. The reality of them getting a ranking like Faris and Flute fills her heart with dread. A ranking of eight and above is considered good but it is very hard to achieve.

She enters the halls of constant and consistent bloodshed. Her heart aches as the blood of those long gone are spread on the walls of her school. Tears fill her eyes and joy fills her heart as she mourns the dead and rejoices over the living.
