It might have been a surprise, but Effer had only confirmed what I had in mind, and that was to sort myself out. Though for different reasons.
I wanted peace of mind… to an extent since I knew that complete tranquillity would never be possible for me as long as things were progressing as I knew it.
Effer didn't want me to implode which could lead to catastrophic results, alongside her worrying about my mental health.
But I couldn't remove myself completely from the situation, but taking things one at a time would be beneficial.
And letting go of the resentment I had towards Fashire was one of them. It might even be the very reason I was finding it hard to reason with him through his essence alone since we were not aligned.
But I wasn't sure I could completely forgive him either. Then again, Effer's words about that had warped my view.
"The very vampires you showed compassion for in that hall have treated humans no different than the way Venti has. Have you considered that?"
