Bastien's Obsession
When she saw Lucca come in, she embraced him.
— How are you?
— Exhausted… — Lucca collapsed onto the bed. Ara took off his shoes and lay beside him. — Since Kate left, Bastien has been unstoppable. He’s become a monster. What he once hesitated to do, now he does without flinching. He’s destroyed one organization after another. He’s going insane. If Kate doesn’t return soon, Bastien… — He didn’t finish. Ara hugged him tightly and kissed his cheeks, his hands, his neck. Lucca clung to her, kissing her lips. — Little one, if you weren’t here, I’d be just like Bastien. A beast driven by revenge.
