This city is like a swamp. It tightly holds us in its clutches and keeps dangerous secrets. We were drawn into the very thick of events, and Lika sinks along with us. Now she isn’t just the girl we want and protect. Lika has become one of us.
We opened ourselves to her, accepted her, and let her into our narrow circle. But by doing so, we put her in danger.
