Revealing the deal
Emma agreed to Klaus' request and drove to a quieter spot, where she parked the car. She looked at Klaus with a serious expression, ready to hear his story.
Klaus sighed deeply before beginning. "Well, you're right, Emma. The reason I didn't want to create a guild at first is related to my past. On the day of the accident, my older brother, my father and my pregnant mother were in the car. My father and mother were fine, because they were wearing seatbelts, but my brother had just got into the car and was still wearing a seatbelt when the accident happened. He was thrown out of the car and barely survived, but our lives were never the same again."
Emma felt a squeeze in her heart as she listened to Klaus' story. She had no idea that the tragedy involving his family was so devastating. She knew that he had an older brother in hospital, but he had never told her about it in detail, so she remained silent, giving Klaus the space to continue.
