She stood in the middle of the field, hands stained crimson.
Only one memory remained.
'Destroy the tower.'
(Y/n) Jahad. Who was she? How did she get sent up the tower, and what was her purpose there? As we all know, the answers to our questions...

The next day I woke up with practically no energy left. I should have slept earlier, but it was too much fun teasing Hatz. I made my way to the kitchen and grabbed some food before heading back to my room to eat. I wasn't very keen on eating in the cafeteria, it felt much more comfortable to eat on my bed.
When I finished eating, I looked at the time and realized it was 8:45am, which meant that class would be starting in 15 minutes. I took my tray and threw out my trash before dragging myself to the classroom. I turned the corner to the main hallway, and then felt a body bump into mine.
Why did this always happen?
I mumbled a tired 'sorry,' without bothering to look at who it was and then started to walk forward.
"Wait, (l/n) (y/n). Don't you want to know about 'it?' " I heard from behind me.
I stopped walking and turned around to face the person who called out to me. She had bright red hair and a pretty face, though one of her eyes was covered.
"What are you talking about?" I asked.
"The voice inside of your head that seems to trigger your killing instinct. Don't you want to know about it?" She said.
I eyed her suspiciously, fully awake now.
"Who are you? Why should I listen to what you have to say?" I asked.
"My name is Hwaryun. Nobody else here knows a thing about that little voice in your head, not even you. You have no choice but to listen if you want to learn about yourself." She said.
As much as I didn't want to admit it, she was right. Her words ate at my curiosity.
"I still don't understand why you want to help me." I said.
"That's not the issue here, is it? For now, just listen carefully."
I nodded.
"This is the only thing I'm going to tell you. Figure everything else out by yourself. That voice is not what's causing you to kill others."
I froze in place, as I seem to do a lot in this tower.
"What is that supposed to mean?"
She started walking away.
"I told you, I'm only giving you a hint. Figure it out by yourself. If I'm feeling nice later, maybe I'll tell you another hint."
