“Professor Floyd, wasn’t that Iris just now?”
“Yeah, that really looked like her.”

“How did she end up like that? Looks like she’s had it pretty rough.”
“Even after joining Haylight League, her life still can’t compare to ours.”
“Don’t feel sorry for her. Did you forget how she mocked us when we were leaving back then? She thought she so smart, and she dragged Jordan into cutting ties with us. Look at her now! Too clever for her own good. She m regret it like hell.”
“She’s regretted it for a long time. My son still keeps in touch with her daughter, Luna. That whole family complains all day long. Honestly, if we hadn’t followed Ms. Reid back then, we’d be just like her now.”
Cyril watched the woman disappear into the distance and gently shook his head.
“She’s just unlucky,” he said quietly.
That was Iris, the woman who had refused to follow when Hayley recruited people at Base K1. She even mocked Cyril and the others, saying they were bound to live hard lives.
Now, following Hayley, their days only kept getting better, while the gap between them and Iris grew wider and wider.
Even though Iris and Jordan had joined Haylight League, and their lives had improved a little, the moment they compared themselves to Cyril, the difference was obvious.
They had better benefits and exclusive supermarkets, and their base leader was also the league leader.
Comparisons like that made them burn with regret.
How could they have been so shortsighted back then, missing someone as powerful as Hayley?
If they hadn’t, they could be living like Cyril now.
After Cyril brought everything home, he told his wife about running into Iris.
After sighing over it together, they couldn’t help but feel deeply grateful they had chosen to follow Hayley.
“We’ve got to keep working hard for Ms. Reid,” she said.
“Yes,” Cyril agreed. “Our lab has new results coming out. We’ll make sure to deliver them to her as soon as possible ”
Meanwhile, at Aecraton High School.
A teenager, around fifteen or sixteen, waited at the school gate
It was Hearthfall, and classes that usually ran until 8 pm were dismissed early at 3 p.m.
Groups of children of all ages streamed out of the school. Across the entire Haylight League, only a little over 300 children were still able to attend school
“Cloudia!”
“Hi, Mom!”

Kate came to pick up Cloudia, her hands loaded with bags. All of it was Hearthfall benefits distributed by Haylight
Base.
The moment she stood there, everyone knew they were residents of Haylight Base.
“Wow, that’s so much stuff!” Cloudia said.
“Ms. Reid handed it all out,” Kate said.
“Ms. Reid is amazing! I really miss her. I wanna thank her in person!”
