Connor knew exactly the second that it happened.
One moment, he was struggling to exist and survive through another day, and the next, he was completely and utterly alone in his thoughts.
It was such a breathtaking beautiful difference, he broke down and cried.
"Connor!" His brother rushed over. "What is it? What's going on?"
They were in the middle of preparing for the nightly Blast lessons with the SpecTac group. The men were waiting for Erick to join when Connor suddenly keeled over.
Corwin waved for the men to go on ahead.
"I'm going to take my brother back to the safe house. You guys go with the Emperor when he arrives."
He turned away and helped Connor up, half-carrying him back to the safe house.
When they finally made it to his room, Connor was finally able to stop crying.
"Brother. Are you hurt anywhere? Did that demon do something to you?"
