She’d once believed that Tayen would come, that he would save her, but he’d left her again. She couldn’t even hate him, couldn’t shed tears, those were long past.

She’d find another meaning to her life after she was released. A guard came to her cell, and unlocked it. "You're being released. Your time is served."
