Going Home...

Actually, Abyss wanted to smile at Carlotta like the other males did.

Unfortunately, perhaps due to his prolonged aloofness, even after practicing, he couldn't muster up that kind of smile.

Why was he now occasionally showing expressions of humility? Could it be that the previous confinement had left a powerful impact on him?
