Reno raised his hand, a trace of a smile leaving his face.
"I'm going to be parting here too."
Ellis grimaced at him. "You are not getting any hugs. This is mine alone."
"Knock yourself out, kid."
Northern looked at him with no particular emotion in his eyes.
"I guess it has been a ride."
"Yes. It has. Thank you so much for your help." Reno paused, growing silent.
His eyes fell for a moment and rose with a wistful expression on his face.
"To be honest…"
The air was silent and wafted with suspense as he started.
"...I never actually thought you would live."
Northern raised a brow inquisitively.
"If anything, I thought you and Raven and Helena were going to be the first set of people to die."
His eyes fell again as his words continued, carrying a sentimental air.
