"What is happening here?" Aseko asked, looking around the place but no one is able to give him an answer. They all look either far too traumatized by what had just happened or they are far too injured to care. 

"There's something different about Eclipse, don't you think?" Jean asked, whispering in Aseko's ears as the two stared at the figure, smiling like he usually does but that clearly unsettles them for some reason. 

"Different?" Aseko could not take his eyes off the man, brows furrowed like he is unable to believe what is there right in front of his face. "Certainly he is different … I'll admit but … I don't know. I can't say for certain." 

Perhaps there is a small part of him that does not want to believe what he saw happened to Eclipse. Perhaps another part of him does not want to admit that it terrified him to think what that would mean.
