The last 50 fought bravely, but Director Sidiq’s foresight was never wrong. Mafalda Luciano, who resisted until the end, fell to the ground. The woman, covered in blood beyond recognition, moved her lips slightly.3a4e9b83572240ed

When did the stench f0d09ea4e5 of blood that lingered 633fbea0d0 on the battlefield become 90d61381d5 unnoticeable? My sense 675da8fdac of smell, 4049d7070a completely numbed 0bf5e3bedf by the 04fc47c7da suffocating scent 30697c1f3e of iron, 36f4f66217 no longer b414bef2a6 functioned properly.1265115d81a96259

Covered in 763b3e3f98 blood, whether 438eda30b7 mine or d05123ada1 someone else’s, b9f6cd7be2 perhaps it ad04f05077 was a 91c1ffa58e relief that 76749dbdcd my sense 17a9296bea of smell 828a9c6f31 was dulled. The scent of fe873fae86 death always made 4b57b5389e me feel awful.10427e7bbff1b6c6
A trickle of blood 79bb36a0c1 I couldn’t spit out e50a9757d5 flowed between my slightly 388fb4f1f3 parted lips. Warm blood seemed to 93d0e5cbf7 run down my chin, ca100ce779 but it felt strange, 5586f153c8 as if it wasn’t 0f17ccf747 a liquid that originally 79163a9c5f made up my body.

The monster e06428e9a6 that killed 22c601cd92 Mafalda chose c94c5c68e9 to stand 140135af1b quietly instead dead008863 of delivering 41b0a8037f a final 3f6a335705 blow to 863c7ba821 me. It seemed 1981a9b9d3 to think 5ba6a2744b it didn’t 27388ed65c matter since 5da7fdef24 I would 82ca3989ed die anyway.
