Are you doing this because you care about her, or to protect yourself?
Echoes of regret rattled around in Abaddon's mind until they were too loud for him to ignore.
He started to throw his head against the nearest wall out of spite, but paused when he remembered the reason why Sei asked him to stop doing that.
He stood alone on the rooftop garden. The soft grass grew even smoother and more vibrant underneath his feet the longer he stood on it.
After over five minutes of standing in place, the grass was nearly akin to a cloud. Perhaps that had added to his reluctance to move.
Bayle nudged the back of his leg as if to remind him what he had even come there for.
"Right, right… probably shouldn't keep her waiting."
Abaddon kept moving through the garden until he reached a deeper grove.
The trees here were more closely planted together. Working together, their leaves were better able to block out the sun.
The others thought it would be comforting. They were right.
