It had been serval days since Vanguard was defeated. Alton was still bedridden after all the injuries. Although at first protesting against the idea of being stuck in the hospital, he had warmed up to the peace and quiet. As he was ready to get some sleep, the door knocked. Alton sat up seeing Percy in the doorway looking down. "Percy, what are you doing here? Visiting hours ended ages ago."
Percy stepped inside sighing. "I'm sorry, I just couldn't wait around as Zinnia told me to speak to you. I wanted to apologise."
"What have you got to apologise for?"
"Don't act like I'm innocent here. We know why I'm apologising." Percy snapped sitting at the end of Alton's bed. "You're in here because of me. Because I was stupid enough to fall for a lie like Vanguard."
"So, you finally come to grips with it?"
