"Well, your sister has always been...indecisive. Give her time, you can't change the way she thinks." Sabitha sighed, lying down on his chest. "It still hurts"

"..... I just wanted to keep them safe" Her knees find the ground first— careful, almost polite— and then the rest of her follows.

"And you've already done everything to advise her. She has her own home, her own family. She made her own choices, my love." She kissed his cheek tenderly.

Well I am worried ! And of course you'd say that.... I was just trying to help.

"Some people also say that I'm a witch. Well...we can only assume that your sister knows what she's doing."

But the witch saw it.... Karl, I just.... they threatened to kill Asher. And William.

Why do you think I am trying to convince him. He will burn. We all will !

....... I know it. But you'd do the same to protect what you love most.

"And how do we know that the witch is really a witch?" Sabitha stood up and went over to him.

I am risking things ? Forgive that I do not wish to see my husband burn ! I've seen the dragon. I do not doubt their words. Karl.... you've seen them too....

I don't have to answer you anything.

"Oh? That's interesting. And why is Kat listening to her?"

How about you ask her how she'd know so well what I seemingly do.

You liar I knew it. Wait here comes the part where you will be condemning me mad as well...

"Start over. I think I got lost in the part about the witch..."

Who said I have done anything. You just know a lot. That's it. Nothing special.

"You're worried about something you're not telling me. Your breathing is rapid, like someone who's angry."

Karl.

She's trapped in a bed. Alone. And she knows things are happening around her.

Oh. Nothing. Never mind.
