Summary
‘All that while I laughed in delight, rolling around in that bastard’s filthy bed,’ de Coste hissed, his blue eyes burning. ‘And those that remained, I took out of their cages, not to their salvation but to be slaughtered by monsters. Devils all, such as myself.
'Children, my love, I dragged these sweet, innocent children that looked up to me to their horrible deaths and couldn’t care less. And I did it all with these very hands, no less.
‘So don’t you dare tell me when and if—’
‘That’s enough!’
After the nightmare of Dún Maergenn, Aaron struggles badly with his role in the slaughter of his people. He has taken to matching the heartache with physical pain in order to punish himself. Baptiste has found out and does his best to help him through it but Aaron's despair is deep and nothing seems to change his views.
That is, until the right words come from an unexpected source. It's a long path to healing but perhaps Aaron will finally be able to take that first step.
