those words send a shudder through her, dread ice cold as its tendrils wrap around her heart. she almost, almost, almost tells ajax to just throw it away.
aether glances up to ajax, but not without letting lumine settle under his chin. anything to get her better, anything to return her to normalโand then, maybe one day, he'll be able to get it out of her system.
