Sure he felt as if it was better to die. But he didn't give up. He kept his head high. And even with his eyes that looked like he had given up on life, he still had as much vigor as when he was alright, if not even more.
And seeing that, Aria was proud of him. Hours had passed but Kye didn't let the pain consume him. He could have as well died if he had fainted, even for a second. She even had a smile on her face. A motherly smile. It was as if she was a mother who was proud of his son for his courage and determination.
As for Ras, even though he had a pained expression on his face because even he was hurt when looking at Kye's condition, in reality, he was thrilled and excited. He knew very well that Kye wasn't anywhere near his strength, but he was still excited to know someone like him. It was clear that Kye's future was bright, and if he could nurture this future, even a little, he would gladly do so.
"Aria can I give him a friend seal as well?"
