Ares watched all those people, the most important ones of his life. He felt an agonizing emptiness inside his heart. He also felt lonely, thinking that nobody there could ever understand him. They could not empathize, they didn't know what he was going through.
'Stop...' Ares thought, his eyes darting around as he looked at each of the skeletons of his friends. Their hollow eyes were staring at him. They didn't move an inch from where they were, they didn't say a word. And, for some reason, that silence and lack of action punished Ares more than words or physical aggression could do.
'Stop looking at me like this...' he begged.
'What do you mean about insecurities? What do you mean when saying that I am running away!? All I have been doing is the total opposite of that! I haven't been avoiding my weaknesses and problems!'
The day when he departed from Alice went through his mind. Afterward, his departure from Daisy flashed before his eyes as well.
