Serena stood frozen, her eyes locked on Damian as he stepped through the Rift- calm, powerful, as if the apocalyptic chaos hadn't touched him at all.
And all she could think was: she'd almost jumped in after him.
Into that roiling vortex of death and madness. Like someone who had forgotten the weight of her unfinished vengeance. Forgotten that there was still a Guardian who needed to pay.
Why had she nearly done it?
"…"
She didn't have an answer.
Because it damn well better not be because she felt like it was the right thing to do. That it was a good thing to do.
In this world, there was no good.
Good men died. Good women died.
And all that was left behind…
She turned to look at Guardian Sludgeborn and his yellow visors.
All that was left behind were those out for themselves and their own interests.
But…
Her gaze turned back toward Damian.
And she only had one thought.
