He could call her a friend, but not a close one. So why did he go out of his way to find her, Eldrian wondered.
He quickly found the reason; Because it was a game... Because it was a quest... Because he wanted to feel like a hero.
Yet now after having succeeded, he did not feel like a hero. He felt more like a corrupt businessman, or a noble, who used others for his own gain. The difference was that he could not be indifferent to the cause of his actions.
As he was struggling with his emotions, he felt alone. The more he felt this, the more he felt he had erred.
