Desperation tinged Eva's voice as she made a plea, her desire to remain by his side evident in her words.
"I want to stay with you," she implored, her eyes locked onto his with a mixture of longing and hope.
Yet, Xylon's response was unwavering, his conviction leaving no room for negotiation.
"I don't care about what you want. Your presence here will only slow me down," he stated with a resolute edge. "You need to return to the farm and seek assistance from Akuna."
His decisions were rarely swayed by emotions, and this time was no exception.
The reality of his uncompromising nature settled heavily upon her.
While her heart ached at the thought of parting from him, she recognized the pragmatism in his words.
Resigned, she chose silence as her response, her own emotions a tempest within her.
Xylon seated himself nearby, his gaze shifting to the wall as he contemplated the difficult choices they both had to make.
