When the sky began to darken, the girl returned to the worn-out tent provided to her. While many humans still writhed in the slave market, their number was shrinking. The girl wore a woeful expression, and appeared to be heartbroken by the lives lost here. She scribbled a few marks on the piece of paper on her table and cracked her neck, exhausted.

“Shit,” the girl suddenly muttered to herself. “There’s not enough replacements... Those fuckers drop like flies.” Her contorted frown utterly betrayed the delicate façade she had been putting up. The paper on the table was filled to the margins with names, each of them marked with various symbols from circles, triangles, to Xs. The Xed out names seemed to indicate the deceased. “Bunch of skinny-ass bitches... At this rate, my turn’s gonna... Ugh, that fucking devil...” She worked her way through the list with an ink brush, and paused when she came to a particular name: ‘Hummer.’ “That one was fat, at least. Maybe he’ll last a little longer. As long as I show some tears here and there...”

“Whasaaap!? Look at you, my little actress, you!”

“Ah!”

A large pumpkin materialized in the tent, from which Kale, the high-ranking devil, peeked his head out. He had a brimming smile on, as if he was coming to play at a friend’s house.

“What a display of humility out there! You just love yourself so much, don’t you? Ahahahahahaha!” Hearing the devil laughing his head off, the little girl only kept her eyes down. She knew fully well that responding in any way would only worsen her situation. “How many more to go? It’s your turn on the torture block once that number of people die, so you better help them with all you got. You’ve gotta give them courage and spirit... You’ve gotta be their shining ray of hope!” While the girl remained silent, her body began quivering, true to her emotions. She knew too intimately what this exceptionally vile devil was capable of.

“Ahaha! Look at your face! But c’mon, Princess. Where’s that royal smile? The people would be disappointed if their princess looked like that! Oh, right, you don’t got any people anymore!” Kale tossed her a pair of goblin heads, blood still dripping, although they were bizarrely lacking in eyes, nose, ears, lips, and teeth. “These guys were saying some mean things about me. Isn’t that terrible? I held back my tears and taught them an important lesson... That they’re a couple of rotten oranges! Haha!”

The one-sided conversation drew tears from the girl’s eyes, and genuine tears this time. “The harder you work, the more those people will try to live! Then they’ll lose that hope with time, until they find it again and lose it again! Isn’t that just the funniest cycle in the world!? Right!? Ahahahahahaha!” Kale’s cackle echoed in the tent, and a knife struck the girl’s hand resting on the table. Blood soaked the paper below, dying the names on the page red as if to foreshadow their destinies.
