Isiah fell into a contemplative silence as he guided Ciel to his makeshift sleeping area and then made his way outside the house.
The weight of responsibility pressed down on him like a heavy cloak, a cloak that he hadn't asked for but now wore begrudgingly.
The child's presence had stirred up a complex mix of emotions within Isiah. He couldn't help but wonder about his own parents and the mysterious flood in District Two that had prompted their journey.
Had they left him behind intentionally, knowing he might be a burden? The uncertainty gnawed at him, and he felt powerless to change his circumstances.
Sitting on the first step leading to the door, Isiah turned his gaze to the night sky and fixed his eyes on Emperium.
To him, it represented more than just a celestial body; it symbolized solace, comfort, and the possibility of recognition.
A future in Delwias Island, where power was paramount, seemed increasingly out of reach for him.
