This wasn’t happening. This wasn’t happening.
Sabi prided herself on being the type of person who could keep a straight face in the worst of situations, a trait she’d taught herself over the years. She could face down monsters with human faces with nothing but a blank stare.
Oreko was here. Oreko had died. How could she be here? And was that-
Sabi’s heart seemed to stop as her eyes locked on herself, blotches of Rust covering her other self’s face and arms. Its face was twisted into a cruel smile as they locked eyes.
Rust was always trying to destroy her from the inside out, now it would try destroying her from the outside in. This couldn’t be happening.
Sabi didn’t have her iron pipe here, but she had found a wooden plank while running from the other monsters. She lifted it, pointing it at the Rusted version of herself. “S-Stay away from me!”
