Eve observed Aaron, in front of her, while he was going through the black case, picking up small metal parts and cleaning them at the table. Seems like everyone has their own habits “It seems like you don’t like the fact that I am your superior.” She folded her hands in front of her “I do understand you at some point, but this is how it is.” A girl came from the canteen and placed a steak and a glass of water in front of Aaron. Eve caught the attention of the person “A can of Swiftness.” Swiftness was a more or less normal energizer in the dome.

Eve didn’t speak for some time; instead she looked around the canteen. She saw a group of young soldiers look at her then talk a bit then look at her again, seeing a woman with her age and beauty in the barracks wasn’t something you would see every day. Eve smiled towards them and waved. “We all have masks Blake.” The girl that had been there with the steak to Aaron came back and placed a can of Swiftness in front of Eve, then she returned to the canteen. “We develop masks the older we get and the more people we meet, for example I am using my cute mask towards those soldiers over there.” She turned her head towards Aaron. “I have more masks than the most people in my age, and you will see that I use them to benefit my needs, and my needs alone.” She smiled but with a rather creepy smile. “That’s how I am; manipulating.” She opened the can in front of her and took a sip of it. “Why would I tell someone like you this?... Well it seems like people think you a quite insane.” She giggled “Another feature I like about you indeed. You aren’t like everyone else, and through that they call you a maniac. Am I right?” She took another sip of the can. If people knew my real intentions they would surely think the same about me though.

The mobile in her pocket vibrated, she picked it up and looked at the display. Her face expression had turned rather feeless while she was tapping on the phone. “Perfect” Eve leaned towards Aaron in order to whisper into his ears “Tell me; have you ever heard the sound of burning crops?” The creepy smile was back on her lips.
