[@Ojo chan 42] Vladimir inhaled and closed his eyes before getting enough courage to speak about it. [color=lightblue]"I am a widower. I was married for a brief time before she was killed because the village found out what I was. They waited until I was gone...buying a gift. I returned to watch horrified. It was....brutal. They had raped her first"[/color] his jaw clenched before he continued. [color=lightblue]"I snapped and killed the entire village I left coated in blood I know I will never be clean of"[/color] he avoided eye contact. [color=lightblue]"My earring is our wedding rings melted down"[/color] he continued to avoid eye contact. [color=lightblue]"My nightmare was the same happening to you"[/color] that was spoken in a whisper. His voice somewhat shaky...even though he hadn't said so it was clear that he still blamed himself. He seemed much more vulnerable as he opened old wounds and showed them to Sasha. This moment was a key moment and he was terrified. She might think him a monster.
