"———!"
Joanna nearly leapt from her spot, her body reacting before her mind could catch up. Instinct took over. Steel flashed in the dim light as her dagger cut through the air in a sharp arc, aimed directly at the reaching hand.
Her movement was incredibly quick. So fast that the figure before her wasn't even able to react.
If not for Joanna suddenly stopping mid-motion, it was very likely that her head would've come flying away.
"Haa... Haa... Sarah...?"
Recognizing the figure standing before her, Joanna's jaw clenched as she placed the tip of her dagger on Sarah's neck, pressing it slightly.
"...It's you, right?"
Joanna's teeth clenched tightly as she stared at Sarah.
Seeing the familiar pair of dark eyes and hair, Joanna truly wanted to believe that the person standing before her was Sarah, but after everything that had happened to her so far, she started to second-guess herself. Was this really Sarah?
But what if it wasn't? It could be a trap again...
