Six hours prior to the event that happened in Willow Village, Elena was having a nightmare.
She was reliving the day their comrade betrayed them. She watched in horror as Ethan died before her eyes, and madness took over her.
Overwhelmed with regret, she wished to destroy this world with them, longing to end the pain that haunted her for a decade.
"Ethan!"
Awakening from her nightmare and drenched with sweat, Elena felt an unease wash over her as thoughts of her husband filled her mind.
Unable to shake the uneasy feeling, she knew she couldn't go back to sleep. So, she quickly washed up and prepared for the day ahead.
Today, Elena was heading to Willow Village to buy livestock. As she drove along the familiar path in the early morning, a small smile crept onto her face.
The air felt fresh and invigorating, and she noticed a group of older people dancing and exercising in the open area. Their laughter and energy lifted her spirits, reminding her of the simple joys in life.
