Layla really felt sorry for Vicente and Nina. Especially for the black-haired young man in front of her because he thought he could take revenge and maybe even get Lauren back one day.
But from what she knew about Nixlas' Shadows, the chances of Vicente succeeding were slim, even considering his talent level.
Achieving the goal of avenging his dead parents and rescuing Lauren wouldn't depend on his level alone!
Even if Vicente became powerful enough to destroy Nixlas' Shadows one day, Layla didn't know of a single case where someone from that force managed to return to their former self after being brainwashed by such an organization.
It was very likely that Vicente would never get his sister back, even if he managed to free her from Nixlas' Shadows and bring her back to his side!
That's why Layla felt sorry for him, almost to the point where she felt her eyes tear up, remembering a little of the pain she had felt in her own story.
