Szeina's hair was still dripping wet from the shower she took after they came back. A small puddle had already gathered by her feet as she sat with Xeruz in his study.
She eyed Xeruz and stared at him in disbelief. But she couldn't fully blame him for coming to such a decision.

"You can't do this. How about his family? They'd be happy to see him well and alive."
"He is not in the right state to see anyone, Szeina."
Clenching her hands into fists, Szeina had to bite back the snark response she wanted to throw towards Xeruz. However, she needed to remember that he still held the key on Yvann's fate.
