Chapter 455
In this blood-red world, she could almost smell the thick scent of iron, mingled with
the lingering stench of something burning in the air.
Amid this suffocating despair, a gentle hand rested on her shoulder.
"Mia?"
Who was calling her?
Mia's gaze was lost in a haze of confusion and agony. She could no longer see the world clearly, only the
overwhelming, suffocating red that consumed everything. But that voice—it was warm and familiar.
It was someone she trusted. Someone she relied on even more than her own brother.
No, that wasn't right.
This wasn't just trust. It was an instinctive dependence, forged in the depths of terror. A reliance born from being
trapped in the sabyss.
Sarah?
She turned her dazed eyes in the direction of the voice.
And in the midst of the blood-drenched world, a figure appeared. A real, living person. Someone who wasn't red.
Someone who looked... normal.

And she didn't want to know.
Her unfocused gaze slowly settled on Sarah, as though she had finally found an anchor in the storm.
"Sarah... I'm so scared."
And with that, she threw herself into Sarah's embrace.
The warmth of another human being-the fleeting sense of safety-was like a balm against the madness
threatening to consher.
But it didn't last.
The red returned, surging through her mind like a relentless tide, shoving her back into its grasp.
Mia clutched the blanket tighter around herself, her entire body trembling as the terror took hold again.
"Mia, can you hear me?"
Through the ringing in her ears and the stinging pain, she heard that warm voice asking her.
She answered softly,"Sarah."
She burst into tears, "Don't kill me! Don't kill me! Letgo, please letgo..."
Mia kept mumbling these words in an endless loop.
Sarah placed a cup of water in her hands. "Drink slowly."
Mia's hands trembled as she drank, still clutching the cup until Sarah took it from her.

In the video, Mrs. Mendes and Mia were crying together, looking very much like two victims comforting each
other.
She opened a livestream, catching Mrs. Mendes speaking with Dean Larson.
She heard Mrs. Mendes's demand: "One million! | want one million!"
Hah! Such an ugly display of greed.
The door opened and Melvin entered.
"Melvin?" She glanced at Mia.
