Quenching

"Painful, isn't it?"

I look at Lyn's lifeless body resting on my arms.

"To have someone important to you, taken before your very eyes."

I got conceited by the fact that I have all this power at my disposal that makes everything easy.

But somehow, when it came to something so important as protecting people close to me, it's useless.

I can't protect anything! I can't protect anyone!

"I... I'm sorry."

I hug Lyn's body one last time to say my farewell.

After that, I put her down gently on the ground and closed her eyelids while wiping the tears off her cheek that was mixed with her blood.

As I stand in front of these innocent people, I close my eyes and took in every bit of anger I have and focused it-redirected it, to my chest.

At that moment, I felt Rose passing out and my senses become singular after a long time for the first time.

"I... don't know who you are."
