Intentionally walking into a building containing a bomb while being fully aware of this could be described as foolish, stupid… suicidal.
Unfortunately, Alex understood that there was no other way to see the current loop to the end.
Safe to say, it was for the plot.
So, even as his common sense tried to make him turn away, he continued on his way into Thera's home, his footsteps echoing in tandem with his heartbeat.
No preparation could save him from the Quillion-charged explosion, and so, all he could hope for was that it would be quick.
He found Thera where he always found her, in the courtyard of the manor, dressed in the same clothes though her countenance was different.
It was a bit more hostile, displaying a great deal of killing intent which he did not recall her having in previous loops.
Something gnawed at him, causing him to make a wild guess.
There was a problem.
