Ilia listened to Guy's story with her mouth falling open in shock. For that to have been him... And he had been so sweet from what she had seen. For him to be the one to die... Well, none of her three friends would have been a good choice, but there was no way out in that scenario. Landel didn't allow it.

Ilia tried to reach over and give the blond a pat on the back of his hand with hers, wanting to give some comfort and maybe receive a little in return.

"I'm... sorry, if I was insensitive about it before, Guy." She shook her head. "And I understand about not being able to say anything. It's not simple at all."
