Chapter 111: Story Time
Nick looked silently at Malak.
Sosora wasn’t the only one suffering. This guy had guilt tearing through his insides like shards of glass. He could put on a good mask around the others, but it was slipping now that he was talking to someone who might have a way to fix Sosora.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t that simple.
If the tentacle knew a way to treat Sosora, she wouldn’t have spared any effort in telling Nick to drag Sosora inside. Since the tentacle hadn’t done that, Nick could assume that the ways the tentacle knew of to help Sosora were not something it could do.
The situation was complex.
Malak...He was desperate. He might be fumbling around in the dark almost as much as Sosora was.
Telling him to calm down and stay by Sosora’s side wouldn’t work.
Nick could tell that Malak would scour the ends of the world for a way to fix Sosora.
She was blind. Her life going forward would be rough. There was no doubt about it.
The current circumstances and Sosora’s life was different, sure, but Nick knew who people who were blind and lived more fulfilling lives than those who could see. A disability could be the end of the world for some, especially in this situation.
Nick would understand if someone in Sosora’s situation gave up.
