#(finn would have slapped him; lysander would have given him ptsd

There was a part of Nova that should've ignore the man. Was she about to be insulted again? Naive, pathetic, desperate, all the words that she told herself or another person told her.

Still is there was some compassion left in her it was only because she saw herself in him. Begging for forgiveness isn't something anyone should be doing anymore. it's practically pointless in a city with no heart. There was a sigh before talking.

"You're forgiven." Nova said giving him the words to try to soothe him. What exactly was she forgiving him for it was hard to tell? Being the hunter or the hunted-everything was a blur. She took out her phone. "Do you have an emergency contact?"

Still sporting his bloodstained tux, Asher hadn't yet returned to his apartment after his betrayal at the gala. He'd never had issues with being alone before; but suddenly his loneliness felt violent.

His thoughts overturned callously like a turbulent sea and each time he felt like he could come up for air, he found himself swept beneath the waves again. There would be no catching his breath; he understood now that this hollow feeling was never going to leave him.

He was alone in the park, or so he thought; sat overlooking the lake. Looking, but not really seeing. The sun had long since risen, but he hadn't moved from the position all night. He wasn't so sure that he could.

'I tried. I really tried. I did.' Exhausted, both mentally and physically, disjointed sentences urged from his lips every so often. "I tried. I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
