Gabriella creeps through the halls as her heart aches for the situation that they find themselves in. She knows in her heart that the one thing that Caesar needs more than anything right now is for her to be there.
For her to help him release the monster within him, the darkness he hides in himself that he never lets free. It feels like he is running from himself and who he is meant to be.
He was created to serve a singular purpose he had abandoned for her. While she is thankful for her life, this pain, a hollow feeling, exists within her. Something she fears will never be extinguished.
A debt that she could never repay; she sees it in his eyes each time he struggles with what to do. Every ounce of his being wants to attack to lash out in the darkest way. She wants to give him that, to submit to him in a way that will unleash his darkest demons, but he holds back.
