A Stained Seed

After such a heartbreaking dismissal, the crowd surrounding the teary-eyed parents starts to leave one-by-one, until those who remain are the parents without Silvestre and Darius. Darius's wife, Hilnora, went to search for Darius and sees him hiding behind a tree that is not far away from the spot. When she came near him, she sees him mourning by himself with a longing gaze and tears of sadness. He sobs all by himself where no one could see him.

"Did you plan all of this?" Hilnora asked with furrowed eyebrows and cold watery eyes.

Silvestre suddenly wiped his tears and stops sobbing after seeing Hilnora in front of him. "I'm sorry, Hilnora, but I need to save her."
