"Jerus," I say, but I don't go further. I can't discourage him from saying these things because he is right. As harsh as his word are, they are true. And honestly, I was beginning to doubt Xan's state was entirely Zar'kun's fault. In fact... I could sense that most of it was psychosomatic.

My eyes shift from the sky to Jerus. I don't say anything or more. I just stare at him.

I sigh. "Get up, Xan. Yeah... you've made a lot of mistakes, and you are the cause of a lot of our problems... but shutting down isn't going to solve any of them. You used to fight so hard to protect Korre, and now you've just let her get taken away and didn't do anything about it. Honestly, I liked you better when you were scheming every step of the way. Now... you're just useless."

Continues to stare at Jerus and Becca for a long time before finally, my dry lips part and I say in a hoarse voice. "Failed... I failed her."
