The Hero Strikes Back
The Hero Strikes Back
“He had drifted closer to the wall. His back was to me.
I had no idea what to do. I was sure I had understood only about half of what had happened, what had been said, and I was sure there was a whole lot more that hadn’t even been touched on. I was shocked at what I’d heard and wasn’t sure I could believe it. I mean, Karish hadn’t really been secluded in his room for eleven years, had he? That wasn’t possible. There had to be some detail that hadn’t been mentioned, that explained it all the way.... Because if it were true, Karish should be insane.
What was I going to do? How was I supposed to make him feel better? Was that even possible right now? I didn’t know what he needed. And whatever it was, I probably wasn’t the one to give it to him. He was no doubt longing to find his friends and drown himself in their company. But I couldn’t let him go out like this, looking so shattered. It would be wrong. Cruel.
I could let him know, at least, that I wasn’t angry with him, and that I didn’t blame him for anything.MoreLess
