There was like, a certain rush in the way that Lukas said those words, almost as if he was trying explain himself and his actions—apologizing, but also not really?
It was like looking at a hurricane about to wreck itself, and yet there was a certain charisma in it. As if this was someone who knew what he was about to do—not fully confident about it, but also decisive of his acts.
