エスケープ

Goodbye, Grace Field House.
Goodbye...
The house we loved so much.

As I ran, I felt myself grow more free. I had no idea what was going to happen after this, and I really hoped it wasn't death.
{ But... we made it. We made it, Norman, if only you were here to see it. This is the outside. We were able to make it out! It's been three months since that day, finding Conny. But here we are now, free. Out here, there are no more shipments. We don't have to go through that again. Tomorrow will come for the 12-year-olds, including Ray. We won't have to watch each other die. We won't be left for dead. We're free... Finally free. }

But this isn't the end.
Outside, the society of demons awaits.
We humans are food. To live outside mean, that we continuously have to preserve our existence among enemies.
There's no house, no food.
There's not ever a society to live in.
From now on, all of that needs to be obtained with our own hands.

Freedom is so beautiful yet so cruel.

Even so... no matter how harsh it is.
I'll survive.
I'll live with everyone.
And we'll go back. Get everyone.

Today, we take the first step.

Sunshine hit my face and I came to a stop.
"It's our first morning," I heard Emma say with a smile.
