Even as a team of doctors rushed in to try and calm her down, to sedate her, anything, all the demon did way cry pathetically. “It’s my fault! I couldn’t save her! It’s all my fault!…” She never took notice of Nero as she tried to crawl her way to the empty bed.
“I’m sorry Sav! I’m sorry! I failed you…”
“You.. you did the best you could…” Nero reached up and rubbed his eyes. “I wasn’t even there. I… what happened out there… I know this hurts, Shimmer, but you’ve got to tell me! How did you get all screwed up? What did this to you?”
He shivered. “They.. told me that it was instant for her, but they never said how…”
In her grief, Shimmer did something, she never thought she’d ever do: she latched onto Nero, throwing her arms around his waist and sobbing into him. “D-demon… c-cut her in the back! I- I killed them all but I… oh God, no! Please! I wanna wake up! I wanna wake up!!”
