Cheomseondae was, once again, forcing herself to test her fear of heights. Today, she was standing on the top of one of the apartment buildings that edged the park, staring down at it. Her goal was to... make herself jump down. Without giving in to the urge to building hop her way down to a lower roof.
All of this was a challenge for the young page, but she had to do it. What if she got trapped on a roof with a Nega again? That experience had made her ramp up her battle with her fear... And also to always, always be using her senses, checking every minute or so for a sign of trouble.
As such, she was surprised to feel the sense of... safety, so to speak... coming towards her. She bit her lip... backed up five steps, and did a running jump off the roof, and into the park, landing on a wide patch of grass, where she stood for a long moment, head hanging as she forced her racing heart to calm itself.
