It was not a nice feeling, seeing one of your biggest pillars of strength crack. It made your eyes burn with unshed tears and it twisted your stomach into knots.

"The scariest villains are the ones who have nothing left to lose." - Gillian Flynn, Gone Girl (2012) I don't own any of the of the characters of Voltron except my OCs and the plot. Enjoy!
