Shade's amused, nonchalant expression vanished, replaced by a look of cold disbelief. "That's a stupid dream. Why would a weapon apologize to me?"
Eirin bit her lower lip, her mind a frantic, disorganized chaos of emotions and secrets. 'That's what I want to know!' she thought, a silent desperate scream in her head, trying to keep herself sane, trying to make sense of the terrifying mystery that was now a part of her life.
"Well, you see, she told me that she was at fault for… you know, what happened to your ancestors. She told me to apologize on her behalf."
The words, once spoken, hung in the air, a thick, palpable tension that was suffocating. Those words made Shade freeze, his body a statue of cold, still shock, and seeing that scared Eirin. She doesn't even know who Shade's ancestors were, but she learned it from Nirvana herself, that she had done something terrible that it had left an indelible mark on his family.
