Tim looked at his reflection in the mirror. What is it that he's seeing?
A man whose dreams were crashed.
What he used to want was thrown down the drain because all he can do is to move forward and not to move away. He always has a choice but this one, this one time he was forced to. He could not afford to have him suffer under Sebastien's hands.
Sacrifice or not, despite the rage inside him, despite what was done to him, despite all things that hurt him, despite the yesterdays that stabbed him, he found and realized he cannot let the Chu family suffer under Sebastien's tyranny.
He would not describe what he feels in details, what he thinks specifically, or how he's doing today generally but what he can just say is how far he used to be then only to be right back where he loathes with no other thing to do but follow.
