In the slum’s underground, Quiana traced the photo with her fingertip. her emotions hidden behind long, curled lashes. The photo showed her with short hair, a style she’d worn only once.
Three years ago at Xemrich Refugee Camp, she’d noticed someone photographing her. But with Josie’s life at stake, she’d had no time to worry and soon forgot about it.
Unexpectedly, after three years, the photo had resurfaced, but it wasn’t enough to identify her.
After a while, she tossed the mask, cloak, and photo into the shredder, watching them get torn to pieces.
Blood surged in her throat. She tried to swallow it, but spat it out in the end. “Pfit!”

“I was training all night. I didn’t see her come back…” a girl spoke up.
A group of girls chattered away, but none of their words seemed useful.
