Connect the Missing Pieces

"I'm sorry for killing Nevin, mother. I wasn't able to stop him even though I tried. I was left with no choice."

Heraleen seemed to be in a state of shock. She was slightly pale when she heard what Devin had said. 

"Mother?"

With Devin calling her that and with her not being called mother by her son for a long time, it had caught her attention, making the Almighty Seraphim turn her head to look at him. 

"The reason why we weren't talking during the celebration after our victory on the second wave, was because I had a fight with our brother. I told him I won't tell anyone about what he did and that he should quit it before the others would find out."

Their mother raised her brow, finally filling up the blank spaces that were empty for a long time. With Devin telling her this, she now understood why he had done so.
