'I don't care about the process, I only care about the outcome'.
'Bring me the head of the Twilight Bandit…, or yours'.
That evening, Ashiz returned home traumatized.
The words of his superior never left his head as they kept on ringing in his head into the night, they caused him a lot of stress and distress.
'Bring me the head of the Twilight Bandit…, or yours'.
Ashiz could not sleep.
That night, he kept on overthinking to the extent he even thought of escaping from Cold Town. Defecting from the Addition astral crew and running away but the moment he thought of it, the image of the Butcher appeared in his head.
Just the image and he was traumatized even more.
"I can't escape". He was in great distress.
For much of the early hours of the night, he engaged in a battle against his own mind, a battle against his fear of failure and against his fear of Chloe.
Which fear was greater?
