The scene was unusual, almost surreal. Lucius had never felt like this since his reincarnation, since he first claimed a human body. He had gone through various emotions over the past month, but this….this very one was different. It was new to him, new to this body he lived in.
Surprisingly, they weren't even close. They only shared a common goal, and that was it. That was the only thing that brought them together, to a common mind. Yet, the pain Lucius felt in his chest was unimaginable, and for the first time, Lucius felt sorrow, real, unfiltered sorrow.
The reason? It was unknown to him, too. Maybe it was because Cophey was the first one he had a real conversation with after reincarnating, or maybe because they shared a common goal, and she helped him achieve it.
Or maybe it was because she only helped him and was innocent of the punishment she was bestowed with. Either way, she had paid dearly for an action he committed himself, only with her help.
