He couldn’t die now. No, he could not afford to abandon hope at this crossroads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would he give up? So many people were actively fighting and bleeding just to protect him at this very moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They viewed him as the singular light they needed to vanquish Orion; hence, they were risking their lives to ensure his safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would he let them all down? Would he fail his mother and Mother Clarice?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer was absolute; he would never.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His collapsing psyche could wait for a later time. Because right now, he had a monstrous beast to exorcise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that renewed determination, he lightly pushed Sera away from his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elite instructor reached out to stop him, but her intervention came too late.

It is a profound shame I lacked the strength to learn it while my master still lived. But someone of Grey’s caliber?
