The Devil’s Hand

– Frey Starlight's Pov –

It felt like every function in my body shut down without warning.

When had it happened?

I could've sworn… just moments ago, I was sitting beside Ada.

Just the two of us, sharing a quiet family moment .. free from chaos, free from the world.

I was close.
