Despair (part 2)
:::[Third person POV]:::
Faced with despair, Adam averted his eyes and locked his emotions.
It was not something that could be done easily, but in a way, he was shaken by the situation as much as Zax, to the point that he decided to not accept it as something unchangeable and definite, believing that he could do something about the situation.
Was he too optimistic? If only it was just optimism. What he was trying to do was something more tragic because he was creating his version of the truth in his mind, and he might as well become insane when he realized that in reality there was no way out.
The question was why? Why was he so affected by what happened?
No one could answer these questions for him because no one could understand Adam's heart.
It seemed like he was more fond of Liu, even harboring strong feelings for her, to the point that this situation made him realize he couldn't even protect someone he liked despite everything that he told himself.
