Construction sounds echoed in the background as Alex stood before a raised platform with Arwen huddled beside him, her arms wrapped around his own.
Donning a black suit with a hat and a cane while Arwen wore a white dress, Both of them had their eyes on an unconscious Ana who lay on the platform, swaddled in coats to ensure she was comfortable.
Her chest moved rhythmically, proving that she was in a stable state which came as a welcome relief to Alex after what could only be described as the worst days of his life since his arrival in Eventide.

A part of him had considered going after Douglas to save him but he knew that was suicide and so sensibly put the notion aside for now.
But that didn't mean he would forget what had happened.
