Abasi was quiet for the rest of Loren's words, staring as if he had never seen the man before. "No, no, I..." A slow deep breath. "I know...that. I know that. Why am I...my mind is so.." Hands going up to rub at his temples, Abasi sank down to sit on a stair, mumbling to himself, trying to make sense of the fog behind his eyes.

it's sad to know there's no honest way out
