An Extra’s POV

'I'm sorry…'

With hunched shoulders, he watched as Esme's body lay on the bed he placed her in. Her delicate body displayed a kind of fragileness that nearly made him pity her.

Despite his own unfortunate circumstances, he couldn't help feeling even worse for Esme.

'No… do I really feel bad for her, or myself?'

At this point, Rey could feel the emotions within him rise up at a terrible pace. He had suppressed them for so long that their compounded effects were beginning to disturb his mind.

Unable to resist any longer, he fell to his knees and released everything at once.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!" Screaming at the top of his lungs, he had tears descending down his eyes as his whole body trembled.

He felt bad—very bad.

All of those feelings—rage, fear, shame, sorrow, and much more—oozed out of his voice, which would have normally filled the room, but thanks to his Sound Magic, Rey controlled the flow of the noise he was making and restricted it greatly.

In essence, not even Emil who slept beside him could hear his wails and screams.

'I… I… what am I doing?'

Despite being the one that was betrayed by Emil, he couldn't help but blame himself for how everything ended up this way.

'If only… if only I was a better Master…'

He had taken Emil for granted all this time, and he carelessly trusted Adrien. Now that he thought of all these things, he hated himself and all his course of actions.

"I'M SO STUPID!!!" He cried out in utter and pure anger.

Perhaps this was nothing but self-pity. However, Rey didn't care about that at all.
