~One is still what one is going to cease to be and already what one is going to become. One lives one's death, one dies one's life~
-Jean-Paul Sartre
"I will not repeat myself." Andronika said sternly, her gaze still fixed on Ryuu whilst steeling her mind in preparation for whatever unpleasant news she was about to here. Ryuu remained quiet for a measure of time before he finally spoke.
"The Azure elite has lost a brother." Ryuu spoke up quietly but Andronika heard. Andronika sucked in a sharp breath. She had expected to hear this when Ryuu had previously been reluctant to continue his words and still yet Ryuu's quietly uttered words hit her with a wave of shock and intense pain.
