"I'm sorry." He spoke behind me. Only then did I realize I was crying. The tears were slow. Almost like they grew stronger the more I let myself feel. I sucked in the air harshly. Sobs quickly began to control my body. Slowly they began to sound more like screams. I don't know how much time passed before Achilian placed his hand on my shoulder. He spooked me back to reality.

My mind had one purpose moving it forward. Knowing what happened was the only thing that could bring me back to earth from the emotionless sanctuary my mind was seeking.
