Asa was beyond amazed to see Dustinel in such a state, as well as to receive such a reaction from him.
His tear-filled eyes caused her heart to ache, and they did ring of sincerity. Thus, she realized it right then and there... that Dustinel felt guilty for all he did.

"I was selfish, I know!" Dustinel began, his body trembling.
"I... I didn't want to die. You know of my body's condition. If I go through any hard labor like the rest, I'll die!"
