"I'm sorry..."
"I'm sorry..."
...
Mrs. Hugh murmured an apology over and over again, tears spilling from her eyes, blurring her vision. In a trance, it seemed as if a shadowy figure was floating in front of her.
"My son!"
She exclaimed in shock, reaching out to touch, but all she grasped was air, and there was nothing else, tears flowed like a breached dam.
Mr. Hugh looked sorrowful, leaning against the wall as if he had aged a dozen years in a moment.
He closed his eyes, supporting his forehead, overwhelmed with shame and self-reproach, unable to utter a single word.

Mason Hugh sighed, "Big sister, let them go."
This bond of kinship had now reached its end, henceforth there would be no further ties.
Caroline Edwin nodded, withdrew the spell barrier, and led Mr. and Mrs. Hugh towards Wilder Pauly, watching as they were escorted to the interrogation room.
She looked at Blake Fuller, "Aren't you curious about what I just said to that couple?"
