Chapter 236

• [Carnelia]
• My breath stops a moment before my heart does, my body growing as cold as the floor that I lay on. Just a moment before I had been fighting with everything I had, but there were just too many of them. I thought I could be strong enough, but I couldn’t. In the end, no matter how hard I fight, they continue to win.
• Because I remember this feeling, I’ve felt it before when my sisters strapped me to that golden chair and throned me in light: This is what it feels like to die. Only this time, there will be no resurrection, no phoenix rebirth.
