As Susan heard those words, she looked at Clay's kind eyes intently. She could perceive different feelings there, every single one struck her heart with such force that it was even painful. If her guardian wanted to give her his feelings through his eyes before the coldness dominated them completely, he succeeded in his mission.
'After all this time... I have been avoiding looking at your eyes due to remorse, fear, doubt, regret... But all I needed to do was to stare directly at them to know what you were thinking, what emotions were in your heart, how troubled was your soul... It's been so long since I don't look at your face casually like this that I didn't even notice how tired you look, Clay. I am the one who should be sorry... I am the one...'
Susan was still kneeling on the ground with her hands pressing against her chest. Nocturne was punishing her from inside out, even more now that the enemies around were plenty.
