Talon's dad rushed outside after his son. When he saw him standing alone in the rain he halted as he stared at him. His face was a total mess of tears and snot. His naturally soft looks were turned into a dark, gloominess that loomed over him.
Seeing his son in that state pained his heart greatly. If there was someone who knew Talon the best, it was him. He knew how much his son loved his mother. Even when he was still a toddler, he looked up to her way more than he did for him. She was his hero and his best friend.
Losing her, in such a manner… How could he handle that loss? Especially when he couldn't even say goodbye.
The more he thought about it, the more suffocated he felt. At this point, he couldn't even look at himself the same anymore. He had failed, as a father, as a husband, and as a human being. He failed to protect the sole thing he cherished in this world... Again.
"I failed you…" He murmured.
