As soon as they came out of the dungeons, Drake stopped and, lifting his face slightly so that the sunlight fell on his face, took a deep breath. Ava’s hand is still in his hand but he just needs to breathe some fresh air.
"What happened?" Ava asked, looking at him intently.
“Nothing, is just that ..'' and Drake opens his eyes and looks straight to Ava.
"In the last few weeks, since I was drugged by Monica, every day I felt like I was losing myself little by little. I felt every way this drug incapacitated me and made me lose myself. I was a spectator in my own life, my love. And somewhere in my mind I somehow tried to shut me up, to take the man Drake and hide him like a treasure in a chest, for fear I'd be completely lost and that the drug will leave me no way back.” Drake tells her.
Ava puts her hand on his cheek and gently strokes him and says:
"If I had known, I would have come to you sooner"
