Hearing Sahura's words, Erend looked at her for a few long moments and letting the truth settle in. She was right. He had so many people he wanted to protect and not just in one world. Its two worlds and each are equally important for him. It felt like a responsibility so vast it was almost too heavy to carry, yet he knew he would never turn away from it.
Eccar's voice broke the silence.
"And what about me?" he asked, his words light but tinged with worry. "I'm alone. Does that mean I'll become corrupted more easily?" He tried to smile, as if it were a joke, but the unease in his eyes betrayed him.
Sahura looked at him kindly, a gentle warmth in her gaze.
"You're not as alone as you think, Eccar. You've spent so much time by yourself, it's easy to forget. But now…" She glanced between him and Erend, a knowing look in her eyes. "You have a brother."
