!~Ding~!
Aether's pupils dilated sharply as his awareness surged back. A chiming sound echoed through his mind, ringing like a bell inside his skull.
"Is this thing... still alive?"
The voice pierced through the fog in his head. He snapped back instantly, his eyes locking on Kai—who was, shockingly, still alive and breathing.
That's when something clicked inside Aether's mind, '3 seconds skill?' he questioned inwardly, narrowing his eyes.
That means... It's about to happen... Kai was about to be killed!
If he wanted to, he could have let it happen—just stand back and watch it unfold.
Who really cared about Kai anyway?
But... killing someone like that, right in front of Xara? A mother?
That... Aether wasn't comfortable with that anymore... Not now.
Not after everything.
