"There is no such person left."
Looking at him leaving, those words echoed in Ethan's head. His lonely figure and the emotions in his eyes at that moment remained on his head.
A mix of frustration and concern swirled within him. He knew Astron had his reasons for being closed off, for keeping his emotions hidden behind that stoic facade. But his response to that question... was a glimpse into something more.
'To be honest, I didn't even ask that question expecting an answer.'
Remembering that his niece was about to lose her life at that time, Ethan was slightly anxious. He had never felt the loss of someone he held dear, so he was scared of that feeling.
He wanted to be with his niece all the time, and he was sure her aunt felt the same.
'Is that what Astron feels? Has he lost someone dear to him?'
