    Summary

    Eva lets out a deep breath, what feels like the first since she’d been tasked with saving humanity by whatever means necessary.

    It was done. Whatever happened now was out of her control.

    There was just one more task at hand.

    Summary

    "It was a strange and abnormal experience to be guilty of something Stratt did not regret."
