The Overseer was left in a trance for a long time. Her mind went over everything that had happened again and again.
She didn't know what she felt. She regretted not taking her shot, but she didn't regret it either. It was the right choice, but it was also the wrong choice. What had been the right choice? What had been the wrong choice?
The shadow's words echoed through her mind. They didn't sound believable. It talked like it knew everything about her, but she knew herself best. Its words couldn't possibly be more accurate than her own.
What even was this thing? She had never heard about anything even remotely resembling this shadow.
Did she imagine it? What if this was just some sort of illusion created by the Gate of Death to test her? What if she had failed that test?
But then, were the shadow's words actually her own thoughts? Did she have these thoughts as well?
Were they accurate?
