The next Zain could hear from Eru's room, was the sound of someone coming above the water. ''And what if I am not hungry.'' she asked. ''I'd rather die then having to spend one more moment with Eru or Lemaire. I am sick of being a prisoner and sick of Eru's torment.'' She inhaled again before submerging herself. The cool water despite slightly bloody felt good against her head. Yet she cursed herself for being incapable of drowning herself here and now.
She then got above the water again and out of the bath and looked at herself in the dusty mirror that was in the room, while the water coming from her body and hair formed a puddle on her feet. She walked towards the door and opened it while still naked and dripping wet. ''So if you could please tell them that I am not coming, that would be great.'' despite the water dripping of her face there was something behind the current cold expression on her face. A facade she could not keep long though before the water on her face got mixed with tears.
