Bang! Bang! Bang!

----------

Knock, knock!

The loud banging woke Rina from her restless sleep, causing her ears to ring from the noise.

"Hey, Rina! Get up, we'll be going out soon, so prepare your things! I'll be back in a few minutes, so you should be ready!" The man's commanding voice came from outside the door, jolting her awake.

Being confined to the room had drained her strength, and the isolation from anyone to talk to had made her feel even more desolate. Rigor had not been keeping watch over her for days, adding to her loneliness.

Rina glanced at the things the guard mentioned. They weren't even her belongings, so she didn't see the need to prepare them. It seemed they might be relocating to a new hideout soon, which made her wonder if their current location had been discovered by Victor.

Even thinking about Victor made her miss him even more. She realized how much she missed him only now that he wasn't by her side.
