Northern was not sure what he had just heard now, but he was also sure he had not mistaken it.
"Wait, you did what? You... married?"
And at such a young age?!
Wait, is she even young? Or was he just projecting his own guess of what her age should be on her?
Suddenly, he felt the urge to know.
But that urge came with a lot of discomforting feeling.
Sometimes, being in the body of a child, having to live as one and faced with the harrowing experience of this life, Northern often forgot he was Elliot or had been before.
It was easier to just live life letting go of that past.
And honestly, it was so tempting; he was doing it without realizing.
Still, there was a degree to which he could get shameless, so this was one of those times he decided to exercise caution and not ask for a lady's age.
"I failed though. I was not able to kill him."
