I couldn’t believe that Nikki had lasted this long. That she was still in this room. She had no idea how proud I was, even if I hated that she put herself in this position. I didn't like the thought of her being in pain, but her strength to endure and withstand the same thing was the only reason I was still sitting here. I blinked through watery eyes to focus on her features. Her lips were pinched, and her forehead was damp with sweat. She was suffering, but she didn’t seem to be struggling the same way as the rest of us.
