HOPE
Nathaniel Chrixx, Lekan Dutch, Dylan Sinclair," the instructor reads from the death roll as we stand in silent formation in the courtyard, my eyes squinting into the early morning sun.
Dylan? She was very much alive and just sleeping when I went out of the hotel for Francis. Who the hell killed her then ?
More than fifteen candidates didn't make it out alive. Two from my squad — Nathaniel and Dylan.
My heart is breaking for them because I certainly feel some kind of guilt, like I should have at least made sure they lived.
I take a deep breath and watch as their bodies are all laid in front of us.
Francis seems to have lost his guts to kill, and Dylan was definitely alive when I left. Were they killed because of their incompetence? Because they slept while on a mission?
That would be so fucking outrageous if it's the truth, honestly.
I'm starting to realize that these people practically want more death records than survival records.
