Humans' Limits 0378- Sorrow

The hall now had only Lucas, and Hannah, who had been left leaning against the wall.

Lucas was about to close his eyes, when a message notification rang inside the hall. It could only be from one person who had access to the vessel, so he turned to the source of the notification. He paused, then stood up.

He descended the stairs, but as he moved to leave the hall, and then the bridge, a groan came from behind him. He paused, but he did not turn around. He did not know how he would face the young woman, as unlike Estrella, she had raised Erick since young, had indulged him in many things, and had loved him. She had always been talking about Erick to him, hoping to act as the lubricant between them to create a father and son relationship.

And now the nephew that was like a son to her had done what would have gotten him killed if not for the late Christina.

Lucas inhaled, but remained where he was, not moving, but not turning around either.
