“What the hell, Jeremy! Twenty-four people died because of you! How will you take responsibility for this?!” Tasha yelled at me as soon as we were alone.
After arriving at the base, Tasha and I excused ourselves, and no one was even in the right shape to care about it.
Even Daniel appeared to be too drowned in his own guilt to concern himself with others. Of course, Melissa remained by his side to comfort him.
Now alone with the vice-leader, she was hurling blames at me. Her furious expression, coupled with the guilty eyes she had, told me of the horrors she experienced as she ran away from the monsters.
However… as much as I deserved the blame for thinking the Hobs wouldn’t have mobilized their forces large enough to fill up the compound, there was only so much nagging I could take.
“That’s enough, Tasha,” I said, sighing a bit.
My calm take on the matter got her even more enraged as she drew closer to me and dragged my collars in annoyance.
“What the hell are you saying? That’s enough? A great deal of our forces has been killed. The rest are crippled mentally, and this is only the first day. We also failed in subjugating any Demons this afternoon, so we’ve fallen out of schedule. Plus, now that we have lost a pivotal chunk of the fighters, the Horde will be too much for us to handle!” Tasha gritted her teeth as she spoke.
What she said was true, though. There was no way the remaining Gifteds could complete the mission in time anymore. However, it wasn’t like I expected them to succeed even with their full members.
“This is a war against Demons. We killed a great deal of them already… do you think it’s strange that a couple of us die too?” I said, now drawing closer to her myself.
Immediately I spoke and took action, Tasha loosened her grip and took a step back. However, I had let her have her way for so long that it now pissed me off.
“Losses will be encountered, sacrifices must be made. That’s what a war is! Do you really think I am to blame for your incompetence?” I asked, still drawing nearer.

The scary look I donned on my face seemed to be enough to trigger the latent fear within Tasha. Her body slightly shook, though she tried her best to seem fearless. I already knew… this woman was scared of me!
“B-but, if you… if you hadn’t told me it was okay to press on, then-” Her voice cracked as she tried justifying her blame.
“I said that’s enough!”
My commanding voice demanded obedience and she complied. Tasha appeared bossy and stern to anyone who met her, so I was probably the only one who could see her break down like this… well, except for Charles.
“Even if I hadn’t said anything, wouldn’t your group have still attempted a second raid? You would have still tried luring some Demons out according to the strategy, which would still yield the same result. Whether or not I gave you the right information has nothing to do with this. Remember that!”
Tasha gulped.
“Besides, I never promised that there would be no casualties. If you truly wanted to save them, you could have waited behind and fought the Hobgoblins, ensuring more survived.” I smiled, once again drawing nearer.
Tasha’s eyes bulged as they moved bizarrely. Fright and guilt were beginning to overwhelm her mind. She kept moving back until her back hit a tree. With nowhere left to move to, her body trembled as I approached, already a hair’s breadth away.
“I… I just… wanted to… I…”
