It was me.I did this to her.
The weight of her anger and grief washes over me as if it’s my heart she is squeezing in her hands. The building is in flames, but instead of running away, she stares at the fire ahead.
What have I done?
I wanted to protect them. It never occurred to me that I might break them in the process.
It never occurred to me that Aika was breakable at all. At least... not like this.
She sinks to her knees, and I am done. This has gone on long enough. Whether I can trust her or I can’t, I will pitch my fate alongside hers to save her from another moment of this suffering.
I move to step out of the alleyway when a dark shape emerges from the other side of the building. A man.
No.
My dagger is already in my hand, and I am prepared to hurl it directly into the man’s throat when I catch sight of his features in the wan moonlight.
What in the bloody hell is he doing here?
