Standing on that narrow passage, Master Tobias looked at Lucivar in silence.
That night, he was crying alone, solemnly.
He separated from the others to grieve Delilah's sudden death.
Perhaps he felt the need to separate from the others to avoid being judged, since after all, the time he spent with Delilah was the shortest among the family members—so to the others, his grief might seem strangely excessive.
Or perhaps he simply wished not to explain and weep in peace.
Others might not understand Lucivar's pain, but Master Tobias understood where he was coming from.
Master Tobias was the one who exploited Luciviar's weakness, weaving this tragedy to scar him where it hurt most. Preying on his thirst for affection and acknowledgment, Master Tobias chose a mother figure to trap Lucivar.
Even though the time spent together was fleeting, it was everything for Lucivar.
It gave him a glimpse of what it would feel like if his own mother were good to him.
