Chapter 11
The campfire crackled and popped quietly, sending tiny cinders into the air. Runa had already fallen asleep, her helmet resting on the ground beside her.

He wondered if she was thinking about their mission, or perhaps Taki, or maybe it was something more. Kana smiled as she glanced over at him, catching the whites of his eyes. He tried to play it off by quickly shutting his eyes, but she wasn’t fooled.
