The young man has returned from his journey, and with heavy emotional luggage at that, judging from how he looks.
That load is not something that can be seen by anyone.
Before it was something that he carried from Kydus to that world, and now when he returned that load just got bigger and heavier for him to carry.
Right now, I couldn't... recognize him anymore.
Was this really the young man who teased a nobleman like me easily?
The one who made jokes and laughed it off with everyone, even during tough times?
I don't see a trace of him anywhere.
All I can see is a dejected-looking man wearing a dark mantle covering his entire body, without a hint of a smile on his face. One look at his face you could tell that as a human he is almost broken.
Any further movement and shaking and he will be forever irreparable.
