306 - From the ashes: Breakdown

The ride was silent, with Cynthia most of the time looking outside, but sometimes stealing glances at Daemon.

It seemed that it was her first time in Daemon's car.

That thought came to her, and it stayed as she pushed herself further into the comfortable seat, her expression quiet, just like the atmosphere.

The ride continued, taking them away from the city center, and they reached a part that had a more gloomy atmosphere, with somber alleys despite the day not being over yet, and the sun not having left yet.

Cynthia didn't know of the reason for their presence there, but as the car slowed, her heart did the opposite, accelerating while pushing up her nervousness, feeding it, and leaving her feeling like a current was running through her skin, numbing it.

She didn't know what she was there to see, but she was dreading it.
