Helena watched Neric fly off to the window.  James's explanation of Neric's guilt made a lot of sense.  That must've been why Neric was much less talkative this time when discussing the girl.  [color=ed1c24]"Neric blames himself for a lot of things, doesn't he?"[/color] Helena asked, [color=ed1c24]"You two didn't get the chance to do anything, right?  It couldn't be his fault."[/color]  Her words felt slightly hypocritical because if she was in Neric's shoes she would blame herself too.  She let out a sigh and added, [color=ed1c24]"The most important thing is Neric isn't like those other Voids, and he hasn't made you into one of those,"[/color] she lowered her voice to prevent Neric from hearing, [color=ed1c24]"husks."[/color]
