Brittany was stumped. She had scrutinized the list of people, only to find that a mere handful had emerged alive from the research institute.

Joie was one of the few.

Brittany reached out to Charles. “How did Joie survive the institute?”

“If she was really so capable, how could she have died so easily?”
