Ren returned to his room completely crushed, but not physically… psychologically.
No matter how many times he thought about it, the situation seemed impossible to solve.
His clumsy emotional outbursts punishment wasn't over… It hadn't generated enough suffering for him.
He didn't cause as many faults as he had thought. It wasn't just triggering the mutant attack or losing his most intimate friend and reducing his own strength... It was much more.
Everything went much deeper than he had thought at first.
One simple decision, a single moment of arrogance, and Bam... The consequences extended into political crises, threats to the kingdom, and the suffering of people who mattered to him.
It wasn't enough punishment. What he had suffered so far wasn't nearly enough punishment.
He entered the room and threw himself on the bed, ignoring his roommates' greetings. He covered his face with both hands, trying to block out the outside world.
