They were indeed Aluna Woodinson and Daisy Brown, the two people he hated the most. His former fiancées.
Despite being engaged at the age of 8, after the collapse of Earth, he had cherished them as true friends. He once dreamed of marrying them both in a grand wedding, a beautiful union meant to solidify the bond between the Vance, Brown and Woodinson families.
But that dream had ended in a blood-soaked betrayal.
It was their families who orchestrated his family's downfall. Yet, in his eyes, Aluna and Daisy were equally guilty. Despite being childhood friends, despite all they'd shared, they hadn't lifted a finger to stand by him. Not even once.
There had been no sympathy. No messages. No mental or emotional support. Just cold silence.
