Leonidas was grateful he was sitting down because he would've collapsed over those words. "Aciano? What about Aci—? No, no this doesn't make any sense? I thought you said that last night was just going to be you interrogating a possible lead for any information surrounding that former Overlord? How is Aciano?"

He looked into Farouk's eyes, saw the pained acceptance laying within them. A pain that heavily contrasts his vacant facial expression, and dread filled Leonidas's heart.

The sound waves that echoed off his voice blew down the hood the moment he said that man's name.

As Farouk smiled his tears slowly fell down his face alongside the ink that mixes with his own venomous blood.

There's the sound of fabric tearing and the gemmed hair tie fell to the floor as his hair unraveled and fanned out around his head in a nonexistent wind
