Make sure to read the PROLOGUE and all previous days before starting on this chapter.

Five days into her trial, despair has overtaken Belose. Trapped in a cave by a vicious sandstorm, she's on the verge of just accepting fate and waiting for death. But perhaps something can convince her to remain hopeful.

Well... this has been quite a journey for me. I've been all over the place as to how I feel about this story overall, but writing this chapter made me certain on one thing: I'm going to see it out to the end, no matter what happens. Buckle up for the last two chapters, because even I don't know for certain what they're going to entail. And I hope you enjoy.
