THERE IS SILENCE BETWEEN THE TWO BEFORE ZONDANI SPEAKS UP, "You of all people should know the complications of falling in love with a human and you have done it again." She glares at him.

Connor tenses up at the truth spewing out of her mouth, "That is not—"

"Oh, be quiet, we both know it's true." She eyes him, "If it makes you feel any better, know that you never had a chance with the girl in the first place." She tells him, her lips clamming shut with each word, "Not even Kai. Soon, she would see the toxicity in the gods and all feelings she has now for your brother would eventually die. So neither of you gets the girl at the end, I hope that makes you feel better." She drags her eyes off him.

"I am going to make her understand." He nods to himself and begins walking away but his mother stops him.
