The Luna Choosing Game by Jane Above Story

Chapter 0411

Veronica was still quiet.

I wished I could give her a hug, but I didn’t want to disturb her train of thought.
She had personally asked me to come with her.

“I don’t need you to do anything,” she had said then. Her eyes had been
downcast, like she was embarrassed to be asking for help. “But I would feel
better if I knew you were there, supporting me.”

“I'll always be supporting you,” I had said, thinking about what would happen
when the competition was done and we all went our separate ways.

Coming here tonight was the absolute least I could do for her.

“I'm ready,” Veronica said now.

The rest of us waited in the observation room, as Veronica went alone through
the door into the interrogation room.

Joyce glanced up as she entered. He seemed confused.

“What are you doing here?”

“Do you know who I am?” she asked.

“From the competition...” he said. He didn't know her name.

“I'm Veronica,” she said. “And I was just like you. I was recruited into the
underground organization from a very young age, and was raised to do their
bidding.”

Joyce looked at her again in renewed interest. “How old were you?" he asked.
“Too young.”

Joyce dropped his gaze down to the table. “And you're out now?”

“Yes. It took a long time, but I was finally exposed to their true colors. They never
wanted to save the world like they promised. They trained me to do magic, and
then used me to do terrible things.”

“I'm not like you,” Joyce said. He crossed his arms. “Is that why you are here?
You think you can just feed me these lines and my life will change?” He looks at
Veronica again, and there's something dark in his eyes. “I may have been
uncovered, but I will never be a traitor like you. I believe in this cause.”

“They lied to you,” Veronica said at the same tone and cadence, seemingly

undisturbed by his insults.

If being a traitor to a crime organization could be considered an insult.

“I don't believe you,” Joyce said once, and then louder, “I don't believe you!”
“Whatever darkness you are facing, I promise there is a way out of it for you, just
like there was for me,” Veronica said.

Again, this time screaming himself horse, Joyce repeated, “I don't believe you!!”
Hearing raised voices, guards went into the room. Veronica turned and left,
returning to the observation room with us.

I went toward her. “I'm so sorry, Veronica.”

“It's not over,” she said. “This is only the beginning.” She looked to Julian. “I'd like
to come back again.”

Julian nodded. “Alright.”

I didn’t understand. “He didn’t seem... receptive?”

“You saw him lose his temper,” Julian said. I did. “He wouldn't have done that if
Veronica's words didn’t touch a nerve. He has doubts. We'll have to be resilient.”
Nicholas stepped closer to Veronica now too. “You shouldn't overly trouble
yourself, Veronica. We appreciate what you are doing, but

“I want to do this,” Veronica said. “It feels like this is healing some of the damage
I've done to people in the past.”

No one dared to argue with that.

As we were leaving the dungeons, a shiver ran through me. Though modern, the
facility did seem to have a sterile, cold feeling too it.

Suddenly, Nicholas removed his jacket and placed it around my shoulders. I was
instantly warmer and snuggled into it, knowing it had been warmed by Nicholas’s
skin.

“Thank you,” I whispered.

“Anything for you,” he said.

I smiled and lowered my face closer to the collar of the jacket. There, I smelled
Nicholas’s comforting, masculine scent.

Yet under that... faint... was the smell of flowers.

Julian nodded. “Alright.”
