Hurried footsteps broke the tranquility of the Mansion No. 72 in the Central District.

A maid headed up the stairs and gently pushed open the master room.

The master hadn't left the house in three days and would probably starve to death if this continued.

"Miss Maria?"

The maid saw a figure curled up on the bed. Ever since her master, Chairman Maria, had returned from the Upper District, she had rushed back home in tears as if she had seen a ghost. Since then, she had locked herself in the house and hadn't come out for three days.

As a descendant of a family of renown academics, Maria had inherited her parents’ interest in the sciences and also worked hard to become the Chairman of the Truth Union. This was the first time the maid, who had watched Maria as a child grow into the woman she was today, saw her master so frightened.

The maid picked up her courage and walked to the bed, only to see that the person under the blanket was trembling uncontrollably.

The maid lifted the blanket, and Maria screamed like a frightened bird. Her face was pale, her eyes swollen, and her hands and feet were cold. In just three days, she seemed to have lost so much weight.

"Miss… Maria?" The maid was shocked by her master's condition.

Maria was shivering, her eyes empty and her mind lost. Although she still retained some sense of herself, she had lost her sense of reason forever.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" The maid asked anxiously.

"L-Life has been killed. The goddess who protects human life has completely disappeared..." she choked out.

The Witch of Life had saved her in the Lower District multiple times, and Maria had nearly become her vessel for her arrival. Now that Life had fallen, Maria could sense it ever so clearly.

As the embodiment of rules for human life on the entire continent of Azir, the fall of the Witch of Life meant that humankind could be punctured like a thin piece of paper at any moment.

Maria, who fully accepted this fact, had thus lost her sense of reason forever.
