Hesitantly, Katrin tried to get up. Adam was ready to help her, he held out his hand, but she ignored him, trying to make it on her own.
At the very end, due to her trembling legs, she stumbled, ready to collapse to the ground again.
Before that happened, Adam grabbed her wrist and held her by the shoulder, helping her stand straight.
"Fuck... How weak I am, this is humiliating..."
Adam behind her smiled slightly.
"Is it? There's nothing wrong with being weak, but... staying weak is destructive, especially for those who seek power."
Katrin looked away, pondering his words. In any other situation, she would irritably exclaim at the fact that he was touching her, but right now, she didn't have the energy for such nonsense.
"Why did you come down from the spire?"
"What are you talking about?" he asked, his voice low and calm.
Reluctantly, Katrin cast a glance at him.
