"Hold right there." Alexei's blue eyes blazed with fury.
"You say sorry, then thank me, and what next? Kick me out in the morning? Leave me alone like you did before?"
Elijah blinked. For a heartbeat, he wondered if the boy had suddenly remembered everything as well.
Resentment energy had the power to twist the mind into hallucinations.
Those violent visions were directly tied to the life one had lived.
All the people you had wronged returned to demand revenge, forcing you to wear their pain until you finally understood what you'd done.
And when understanding came, so did guilt.
The sickening feeling kept erupting inside the gut.
It wasn't just emotions that slashed inside, but sharp claws of those souls that carried the resentment.
It was like a short trip to hell.
At least, for Elijah, that was the case.
Even now, he could still hear the sobs and curses of those spirits he had abandoned on the Red Shore.
