Everyone was Traumatized

"That's exactly what happened"

"So, let me get this straight. You're telling me that I did... I mean, 'I' did all that?" Aether asked incredulously, his wide eyes reflecting a mix of shock, surprise, and, most of all... horrified expression.

"Yes," Delphine affirmed with a subtle nod, her lips curving into a small, knowing smile as she observed Aether's evolving range of emotions. She couldn't help but feel a slight sense of satisfaction in getting her revenge on every previous harassment.

This was the day following Aether's destructive outburst. When he finally regained consciousness, he felt disoriented and struggled to recall the events that had transpired. He could vaguely recollect some memories of Ether, but beyond that... everything was a blur.
