Zevran.
Pain.
That was all I felt as I staggered in and out of the elevator, and as I made my way to Leilani's office, the pain seemed to triple in intensity, sending jolts of agonizing tremors up my spine.
"Arrghhh!"
From the corner of my eyes, I noticed the way Caelum was hunched over, his eyes closed as he pressed his body against the wall. With a shudder, he looked up at me, his voice gruff as he whispered;
"We're shit holes."
I frowned. "Huh?"
"Leilani is at it again…" he drawled, and I didn't need to ask what he meant because I could already feel it. I already knew without being told what this pain meant… that it was her.
This was her giving us a taste of our own medicine. This was her showing us just how much suffering we've put her through.
My knees wobbled and I staggered backward. But after glancing one more time at Caelum, I noticed to my surprise that he was not angry like I had anticipated. He was not irritated either. He was simply… sad.
And in pain.
