Chapter 53: CH 52: CONGRATULATIONS

Sitting alone in the living room, Cecilia was absentmindedly staring at the TV while holding onto a can of unopened beer. She had brought the bear out to help her in calming down her nerves but she didn't have the mind to drink it. Thinking about what was going on downstairs was enough to muddle out all her thoughts.

Right then… As if on cue…

A scream filled with pain and unbridled rage and unfiltered despair reached her ears and lashed at her heart, inflicting pain that was far different from any complications her heart had shown thus far. However, all she did as a response was to close her eyes and unconsciously tighten her grip around the can, crushing it along the way.

Looking down as the amber-colored liquid stained her clothes and seeing her hand dripping with the juices contained inside the can, she couldn't help but sigh out loud and stood up before searching for the mop.

She was feeling like a robot programmed to do a limited set of tasks and unable to do anything else.
