780 Parting

"...I can't do this." 

Raven stared at Luna's tear-drenched face, feeling a pang of bitterness and pain his chest. Luna was currently sitting at the edge of the bed, her head was down with tears streaming down her face, she's not even looking at Raven, she just gripped the edge of the sheets while sobbing as quietly as she could. 

He didn't like seeing her like this...

Moreover, he also didn't like what he's making her do. It pains him so deeply to do this but there's no other way. That being said, Raven could only remain quiet because he trusts that his wife also knew why they have to do this. 

Even then...Raven couldn't stop hating himself. If he could only do this entire thing alone, he would. He would rather leave Luna here to raise Vanessa as he carried their burden all by himself. He wasn't a stranger to loneliness either anyway so he'll be fine.
