42 Leaving

'Today's the day...'

Cedric took a deep breath after ending his meditation. He glanced outside to see the first few rays of sunlight peeking through the horizon.

Deep down, he felt weirdly nervous for some reason. The mere idea that from now on, his life will change provokes a feeling of hesitation in him. Despite that though, he knew that this was bound to happen, so he could only accept his fate.

Knock! Knock!

Cedric stood up to answer the door, he was then met with a warden who briefed him about their schedule. According to the Chief's order, they'll leave at 9 a.m., so he still has a few hours to himself. The warden also told him that he no longer had to wear his prisoner's attire since he was technically a 'civilian' now.

After receiving that, the warden left and Cedric tended to his needs. He ate his breakfast courtesy of the meal plan, bathed himself, and wore a fresh set of clothes he ordered online.
