Chapter Thirty-Four I’ve never pretended to be strong or a hero. I’ve never thought I was good enough to deserve salvation. But I love my little sister. I’ve seen blood, and fire, and so much pain I thought I would split in two from the screams that never found their way out of my mouth. But I can’t break, even as I watch the world end. I can’t fail Mari. I have to keep fighting. I’m trying, but the monsters are too strong. I can’t hold them back forever.
