"I'm…sorry…"
The room was silent, almost frozen in time.
All that echoed were sobs. Ariel almost instantly broke down, unable to stop himself, and so did Samael, the tears they both shed pouring out without end.
Unable to stop herself anymore, she rushed forward to Ariel's side, kneeling beside him and doing her best to comfort him.
Uriel's gaze flickered at the sight, and he felt a tinge of disgust and warmth flow through his heart. His lip twitched and he nearly lost control again, but in the end, he managed to hold on.
He looked away.
He didn't try to comfort Ariel, he didn't ask Samael any questions, nor did he say anything else.
He simply walked away.
…
In a corner of the room, Uriel sat on a stump he'd conjured. He faced away from the group, his expressionless face lowered as he stared at the ground.
He leaned forward, elbows resting against his thighs.
