Z-3'ün Komutan? Fars?a yolda yürüyordu, ifade ?elik kadar sertti ama merak doluydu. Di?erlerini takip ettiler. Ayak askeri hastanesinin so?uk zemininde yank?n?yordu. Muhaf?zr?n rehberli?inde ?nemli, karanl?k bir hücreye yak?m??r.

  "Bu k?z m??" "Evet Komutan Farsis." "Neden boynu ve yap?s? zincirlenmi??"

  Thiven, General Sabrina'n?n dü?ünerek durakd?, ard?ndan al?ak sesle konu?tu. "Babas?n?n sonunda, eline ge?irebildi?i ?eyle kendini ?ldürmeye ?al??t?. Ellerinin ve ayakr?n?n ba?nmas?n? sa?d?m, ama sonra kafar? yere basmaya ba?d?. Bu yüzden tüm ki?ileri zincirledim. Belki de sadece ?oktand?r... Bilmiyorum."

  Ian parmakl?kra do?ru yak?t?, sesi sab?rs?z ve otoriterdi. "Hey, evt. Bir an?ma normal. Bize kendinden bahset, sorur?m?z? düzgünce cevap ve seni b?rakal?m. ?zgür ocaks?n—"

  Ian cümlesini bitiremeden Semira onu susturdu. Saatlerce ?i?ekten bitkin dü?mü? olsa da art?k sesi saf nefretten ba?ka bir ?ey ta??m?yordu.

  "?zgürlük mü? Bu durumda bile, sizi bekliyoruzden daha ?zgürüm. Siz sadece kuralra, kana ve düzen yan?lsamas?na tak?nt?l? bir grup aptals?n?z. ?zgürlük dedi?iniz ?ey bu mu? ?yilik mi? Rapor tutmadan i?eyemiyorsunuz bile. Ne? S?zlerim s?zde onurunuzu mu te?vik ediyor?"

  Ian durakd?, kilide uzand?, ama Farsi'nin elini kald?rd? ve sakin, yapmac?ks?z bir ton konu?tu. "Bak?? a?mas? eklendi. Ama hakaret etmeden ?nce bunu bil: Baban senin i?in bir kahraman obilir, ama di?erleri i?in o sadece bir katildi. Bir madalyonun iki yüzü gibi. Herkes g?rmek istiyor. A?k ve nefret... hepsi ayn? de?il."

  Semira cevap verin. Sadece bo? g?zlerle ona bak?ld?.

  "?imdi bize s?yle—sen kimsin? Baban?n deneylerini and?n?z m??"

  Semira'n?n sessizli?i cehaletten de?il, ac?dand?. Babas?n?n ad?n? duydu?unda yüre?i ba??r?yordu.

  This room isn't just cold. It's freezing. But I'm not cold. There's a fire inside me so hot, anything that touches my skin would turn to ash.Which one of you took everything from me?Which one looked into his eyes and pulled the trigger?But of course, none of you care. To you, he was just a traitor. A source of information. A file.He was my father.He read me stories. Held my hand. Told me not to be afraid when the war broke out.Now those hands are buried in the dirt.And all I have left… are trembling fingers.Everything was a lie.Peace, trust, justice…Just beautiful words to hide the cold of the trigger.You want me to talk?To fight back?To give your pathetic organization a response?I have nothing left to give.I am no longer human.I'm a tombstone.One that bears the name of a man now called a traitor.I've lost the war.The one inside me.Where my rage ends… there is only emptiness.

  "I won't speak...I won't resist…I surrender…"

  There was nothing in the girl's eyes. Just a void.Farsis sighed and turned away."She knows nothing. Just another soul swayed by the illusion of good and evil."

  Thiven looked at the girl a moment longer."Then… is the mission a failure?""It's too early to say that," Sabrina replied calmly but firmly.

  Ian muttered under his breath."So now we have to deal with this brat too? We got what we needed from her father, and were going to execute him anyway. If she has no useful info, let's just wipe out the rest of his damned bloodline. What are we waiting for?"

  Semira slowly lifted her head, her eyes glowing in the dim light. Her voice was tired but sharp. The silence shattered with the weight of her words.

  "Your words say enough. You're nothing but savage beasts."

  Ian stepped forward, anger fring, but Sabrina raised a hand to stop him. Semira's words had piqued her interest. The girl didn't even pause to breathe as she continued.

  "Do you even see me as human? Just like how you saw my father as a monster? How ironic, because I see all of you as monsters too."

  She took a breath. Her voice didn't grow louder, but colder. Unshakable.

  "Did you say 'wipe out the bloodline'? Blood isn't just DNA. It's memory. Belief. Resistance. And that 'monster' you speak of… he taught me those things."

  Sabrina tilted her head and stepped closer to the bars, leaning against them.

  "An?r? ?nan?r? E?er sadece karanl?k, ?lüm ve korku getiriyorrsa—o zaman onr?n soyuna birlikte g?mece?iz. Baban bir canavard? ve sana ??retti?i ?eyler sadece o canavar?n g?lgesi. Bu kadar ?ok insan?n ondan neden nefret etti?ini merak ettin mi, velet? A?mak me?guldün ve soruyord?n, de?il mi? Marek Zenz insanr?n?n yapt??? bir katildi. Ve onun yerinde, bu dünya ?imdideydi. Ne dersem diyeyim, o yine de seninnin ocak, de?il Mi? Ama e?er s?zde direni?in masumr?n kan?na yaz?lm??sa, bu bir miras de?il—bir nettir. Yine de... itiraf etmeliyim, velet, iyi konu?uyorsun."

  Tüm bu zaman boyunca sessiz kan Scott, sonunda kendini duvardan iterek do?ruldu.

  "Bu veletle bir ?eylerin gidi?at?n? zaman kaybetmeye son. Hadi, ona ne yetinmeye karar verelim."
