Kurayami's heart ached as he felt the pain Eclipse carried, a pain that resonated with the cruelty of this world. Eclipse's story revealed the harsh truth of his life, how his own father, Duke Everhart, had neglected him in favor of Winslow and his other children. Eclipse bore the weight of being an outcast within his own family, pushed aside by his father and even facing a murder attempt by a stepmother who cared only about power and the marriage of the princess to secure their status in the Empire.
This pain weighed heavily on Eclipse, and as he recounted his story, Kurayami's heart couldn't help but melt. It melted like ice in the warmth of the sun, despite its cold exterior. Though there was little he could do to change Eclipse's past, his words carried a thousand emotions and a promise for the future.
