Kai wanted to believe that Layra had moved on from him.
It had been months.
She promised to contact him, but she didn't, and he assumed that was a direct message from her that she had already moved on from the Blood Rite. From him. Though it stung, it was a good thing for her.
Now, Kai realized that he was being a coward.
Deep down, he knew that there was a chance something happened to her.
And with every bad thing that happened, he didn't want another problem to deal with.
Layra was eager to meet with him again.
Even though they had parted badly due to a petty problem, it didn't change what he wanted.
No chance that Layra could change that dramatically because of that alone.
It was the same with Bree.
Kai already had his suspicion that something was strange about Bree. He decided not to even bother to investigate, hoping that she had no bad intentions at all, as she was one of the few good things that had happened to him.
But it turned out like this.
So, no more.
