No looking back

There is murmuring behind the door

So many people

I can’t believe there would to be so many.

I should know better, some kinds of news is certain to stir up the press.

I hope that this does the job. I don’t know what else to do.

It’s all gone too far. I fooled myself that I could fix this mess.

I want to be mad with Naomi, but come on, she was hasty in her actions, but it’s me that took the first step towards the chasm. To leave my dissertation unattended.

A stupid and careless mistake paid dearly.

Human life is not worth a thesis.

It’s my fault and the responsibility to fix this has fallen to me.

Any consequences are for my future, it’s okay.

I have already lost the thing most important to me.

The trust of my best friend.

Someone is calling my name, saying that ‘they are ready, waiting for me’.

No more time to process, or to take a breath.

Life how we knew it, in the next few minutes, will gone forever.

No regrets, though.

A Guide must always preserve life.

A Guide must always protect his Sentinel.
