The quiet in his eyes. No words. Just that look. I didn’t understand it. But it felt like something had started that I couldn’t undo. The wind moved through the window again, cool and gentle.

“Because I’m tired of running.” “You’ve never run from anything in your life,” Caelum said quietly. “No,” Nyx agreed. “But I’ve been hiding. Behind spells and doubles and carefully constructed lies. Maybe it’s time to step out of the shadows and face what I’ve become.” She moved past him toward the door, then stopped. “If I don’t come back…” “Don’t,” Caelum cut her off. “Don’t make this a goodbye.” “If I don’t come back,” Nyx continued, “the real crest is hidden in…”

"One thing I have learnt is that people always have things that they will always want to hide. You honestly can't uncover all of them and if you think you can, then you may just end up like those over engaged with things that will yeild no fruit and they totally lose touch with the important things of life that way.
