Ambrose made sure to take a long dip in the bathtub later that day. Once he was done and standing in front of the bathroom mirror he felt… different.
Like something in him changed.
He rested his hands on the sink's cool surface, staring at his reflection with a heavy chest. "These stupid feelings will pass."
It definitely couldn't be guilt eating him up anymore. That crook had what was coming for him. But the thought of taking another life. Without hesitation too.
[Sooner or later you'll have to get over this, you know?]
Ambrose's jaw worked. "Well, sorry. We humans can actually feel things deeply."
[Not all of you.] Aura was quick with the response. [The road to getting stronger was never meant to be easy. And you've seen your own fair share of death since transmigration.]
"Still not the same thing as killing someone."
