Working in the kitchen of the convent was like taking a stroll down memory lane for Lea Landau.
Right now, several hundred citizens of Angkora sat in the cafeteria, having a hot meal to not only fill their stomachs, but to take their minds off of what was going on outside. They were safe under the barrier, but many still had relatives and friends out there fending for themselves. To take their minds off of their worries, it was decided food would help restore a little bit of normalcy and calm. And that was why Lea was now here.

Lea didnt know if the tears filling her eyes were from the physical pain, or the fresh emotional scars opened up on her heart. But as much as the hit to her face had hurt, the words that followed from Annas lips were ten times as hurtful.

Anna snatched her arm out of Corbins grip, and the soldiers escorting her cocked their rifles. One of them aimed at Corbins head. The other three formed a circle and aimed their guns at others in the room, as though they expected a war to break out any
