RONIN
He never thought it would hurt quite this much.
He’d prepared for it, steeled himself for it, knew it would be the weak point that they would go for. But hearing her, seeing her, listening to words she’d never said...
Ronin could only look at her out of the corner of his eye, feeling tears already prickle there at the sound of her voice. Raising a hand, a starbolt alighting in his hand, he shot it towards the monster masquerading as his daughter.
”Out,” he repeated, voice gruff, throat trying to close around the words. He couldn’t fall at this first hurdle. Wouldn’t. There was too much to lose.
