"I'm sorry about our first life and… for failing to help you plan my murder."
Penny's heart sank as she stared at the subtle smile plastered on Atlas's face. She shook her head, hearing Zoren grunting behind her.
"No," she breathed out, her heart clenching. "No, no. Don't — don't let go. Don't…"
"Penny," called Atlas, his voice ironically calm and reassuring. When their eyes met, his eyes squinted a bit as a shallow breath escaped him. "It's okay. It's going to be okay."
The person Penny spoke about in her previous life sounded like a very harsh individual. The Atlas from her previous life didn't sound like him at all. Even so, if that was true… Atlas was slightly appeased in knowing that, in a way, he could correct that behavior.
