Union with Leger
Looking at himself in shock, Brendan ignored Minos' group for a moment, enjoying some of the freedom of thought that Abby allowed her corpses to have.
But being totally under her control, he couldn't do anything against Abby or her interests. He could think freely, but his actions were totally restricted to what she allowed him.
After inhaling the air into his lungs in this world again, he felt strange, a little angry with Leger, but also understanding. He had been murdered, but truth be told, in the situation he had been in before his death, dying had been a good thing. The action of murdering him had freed him from pain and a lot of future humiliation.
"Who would know? I'm even stronger now than when I was alive." He laughed bitterly, feeling funny about life's ironies.
