"I want to bring Harlow home," Mars said with a flat, emotionless voice. He did look haggard, but it was different from the last time he was grieving. There was something chilly about him that made even Gewen feel worried.
Mars was a calm and collected man, but he was never this cold to people, especially to those who were close to him.
You could say that in this world, Athos, Gewen, and Lily were some of the few people he loved dearly and were closest to him. Yet, his action toward them didn't show any warmth or affection like he normally would.
"Are you... okay?" Gewen asked carefully. "How do you feel?"
Mars turned to look at Gewen coldly and replied. "How do you think I should feel?"
His words made Gewen feel so dumb. Of course, Mars was feeling sad. Who wouldn't if they were in his shoes? Yet Gewen still asked how he was feeling. That was a really dumb question to ask someone who was grieving and Gewen immediately regretted it.
