This thought grew like wild vines, entwining her heart.
But she dared not!
She was terrified.
Afraid that the moment she heard her family's voices, all her strength and facade would collapse instantly, and she would uncontrollably want to go home immediately, throwing herself into her mother's arms.

It was simple, on the day of the Martial Arts Joint Examination at the Eighth Academy, many teachers and students were either dead or missing; adding her wouldn't raise any suspicions.
She wandered aimlessly down the street, her mind in a jumble, various thoughts flashing chaotically past.
About an hour went by in this haze, and only when her legs were sore and numb did she dazedly lift her head to take in the familiar street scene surrounding her.
