“I’m sorry for every little thing that occurred,” I mentioned as we floated into my room, and Lilith simply shook her head.
“You don’t have anything to be sorry about; they’re simply frightened about what’s going to occur after we escape this place,” Lilith reassured me as she sat down on my mattress, and I joined her. “It has been a very long time since anybody has had hope of escaping this place.”
