An Extra’s POV

Eric had always held a fascination for Magic.

Even back on Earth, he was someone who delved deep into things like mysticism and other forms of paranormal activities—all so he could find some proof of any supernatural force.

The reason for this insatiable hunger of his wasn't innate.

It had a cause.

"Both of my parents died in a car crash. I live with my aunt and uncle. They're not bad people, but…"

Eric didn't love them.

He didn't feel any sense of attachment towards those people—not like he felt for his parents.

Plus, they had kids of their own.

Eric felt it would even be a burden off their shoulders if he was no longer their responsibility. That was his own way of repaying them.

"Bottom line is that I don't miss Earth and I don't want to return." Eric furrowed his brow with resolve and calmly stated all of this.

"Oh wow. I didn't know that happened to your folks. My condolences, man." Justin murmured, his face crestfallen.

"There's no need to feel bad about it. I also didn't know about your situation. I find it respectable that you want to see the people you love again."

With Eric and Justin smiling at each other, Clark decided it was his turn to speak up.

"To be honest, I have a friend that is being domestically abused at home. I want to help him so badly, but I'm so powerless. In an attempt to research more on the subject, I entered this rabbit hole of cases and instances… and there's so much of it going on." As he spoke, he clenched his fist and displayed anger.

"Why does there have to be so much injustice in the world? Why do the bad guys get away with their crimes? Why… why can't I do anything to help?"

In the end, there was nothing Clark could do about his friend's situation.
