Her breath caught in her throat when she saw the empty bed in the medical wing. Desperately, her eyes scanned the room, unwilling to accept the first thought that popped into her head: the sickness had taken her mother, and she wasn't there by her side.
Before panic could set in, Dr. Jackson noticed her confused gaze and explained how her mother had been taken to the airlock chamber. She physically felt her heart sink, and without realizing it, she was already on autopilot, her legs sprinting before the doctor could even finish his sentence.
She couldn't believe they hadn't told her. She couldn't believe they were about to float her mother, and she would've been robbed of even the chance to say goodbye.
The sound of her pounding footsteps echoed in her ears, matching the frantic beat of her heart. Within moments, she found herself standing before her worst nightmare.
But this wasn't a dream. It was real.
Chancellor Jaha stood proudly as he voiced the accusations, Councilor Kane stared into the eyes of his friend, knowing he would be haunted by this moment forever, and Councilor Griffin, unable to meet anyone's gaze, looked away, fighting back tears. All of them gathered in front of the airlock chamber, while her father, Cillian, struggled against the two guards holding him back, and her mother stood behind the glass doors, looking down.
"No!" The word escaped her in a high-pitched cry, the sound reverberating through the room, making everyone turn their heads in shock.
Her eyes locked with her mother's, and in that moment, they both saw it—the heart-wrenching realization that this would be their final memory together. Her father's body tensed with shock as he caught sight of his daughter.
