You sat quietly on the rooftop of the building, not far from the Pit. The night felt calmer than usual, a sense of peace settling over you after passing the endurance test earlier that afternoon. The weight of the rankings had finally lifted, and with it, all the pressure that had loomed over you for so long. Now, for the first time in a while, you felt free—serene, even.
Your gaze drifted up to the sky, filled with stars that shone brightly in the absence of clouds. This rooftop had become your sanctuary, the one place where you could truly be alone, undisturbed by the clamor of the world below.
But then, you sensed a presence behind you - subtle, yet unmistakable. Someone had approached quietly and now stood beside you, their eyes turned in the same direction as yours, toward the starry expanse above. You knew who it was.
“Congratulations,” a familiar voice said, breaking the silence.
