Horror settles over him, naked and sharp as his gaze is drawn to that bared chest. His hand is pushed away but he barely even notices, his limbs go limp and numb as he stares. His heart almost stops.

He'd done this. He'd caused this. A tear slips down his cheek at the magnitude of how he's fucked up.

He swallows heavily as his hands are grabbed, and shakes his head, drawing in a shaky breath through wretched lungs that don't want to work right.

"I...A-Xu..." Nothing he could say would be right, and he knows it. "We'll find someone to save you. This is a new world."
