In the morning, the trio, Aaron, Zara and Erika woke up late in the morning.
The previous night, they spent a lot of time together, as Aaron and Erika would soon be deployed. The next few days would be the last they would be able to see each other for a while.
Reyna, who was deployed the previous year, was not seen for a long time. Though she would call from time to time, the group has only seen her once after she was deployed. With ongoing battles, no one would have any breaks. Getting a rest period for once is already a boon.
Zara would be staying behind, as she belonged to the crafting profession, which has no place on the frontlines. Aaron and Erika would be deployed away, but there is no guarantee that they would be sent to the same outpost.
So, the previous night they made a decision.
