The contrast in living conditions could be utterly confounding for anyone moving from the Hollow Stacks and experiencing Skyglass Heights for the first time.
That was the case for Damian- even though the hours of the night that passed inside this mansion of an apartment were a blur.
After the attack by the Vagrant Beast Masters and the appearance of Vex Talon, the rest of the night had become twisted. Blurred. Damian had spent it trying to take his mind off the many things weighing him down.
His rage, shame, and guilt from how that day had unfolded never left him.
The fact that he'd frozen in shock and fear while the Drunken Butcher rained down a massacre all around him.
The fact that his wife had to be the one to push him out of harm's way.
The fact that she died saving him.
That would stay with him for the rest of his life.
That was the fire that burned beneath his skin every night, fueling the nightmares.
Even tonight…after its hours passed and he fell asleep...
"GAH!"
