Blinded by Sympathy

[Back at what was once Ogden Cove]

Hector did not take the news of Sidmund's demise well.

"What do you mean he's dead?" Hector bellowed in a blind rage. "He can't be dead! Sid's much stronger than that!"

"Calm down, boy," Mama hissed as she pointed a finger at him. "You want to bring all the neighbors to my door? I'd rather you not, considering all the bodies in my house at the moment." Then she turned to me. "Ashli, is Klyn up?"

I shrugged. "I'll go check."

Hastily, I retreated from Room#2 and creaked open the door to the first room before peeking in. At once, I came face to face with Klyn, his black eyes peering down at me. Furtively, I scanned his body and realized that his wounds had indeed vanished as we expected. 

But how was he taking the news?

"Um, hi," I said awkwardly. Gosh. "All healed up? M-Mama's asking for you in the other room."
