Watching a stranger occupy the cell that once belonged to him, Ash couldn't help feeling a bit sentimental.
He had never expected that he would one day revisit this place.
Even more unexpected was his somewhat fond remembrance of the prison.
In fact, his stay of a few weeks at Shattered Lake Prison was only months ago, but it felt like a long time had passed.
As he passed the cafeteria, he saw the table where he, Igula, Harvey, Lanna, and Ronald used to gather and discuss plans, now occupied by two ogres eating.
As he passed the arena, he saw an old man with a diamond shine beating up a goblin, clearly "Diamond" Tag playing dumb to catch the wise.
As he passed the library, he saw a young man writing a novel. After reading a few lines, he immediately remembered who it was—the writer who was executed before his novel could be completed due to its controversial content. Yes, they got the right person.
