Being stuck in a sterile room had been less than ideal. His whole body itched. It wasn't anything they done, it was normal typical tests everything they'd done before and then some.
His mind wandered from Jay to Hayden and to Raffe. He wasn't sure where his life was going. Jay had forgiven him, but yet he walked away. Hayden had been there for him. He'd convinced Nox to find a cure. It would have taken Nox a while longer to figure it out himself. But it was expedited by Hayden's worry for him. Worry that he'd become dangerous -- more than he already was.
He missed Raffe, but he wasn't sure there was any point in any of it anymore. The more he had time to think the less he thought he and Raffe had ever been on the same page. There should be anger. There should be sadness but on his walk back to the house there was no emotion, nothing but empty gray.
But the emptiness drew his desire to hit things. Which was part of what Hayden was worried about. What happened when he couldn't control himself or find a reason to stop.
His life was mostly empty -- empty except for waited for him in the Red Light District. His life was just his family now.
Nox made his way downstairs. He found Elyse beating the bag.
Nox sat down on the floor close by and untied his boots and pushed them off to the side. "Jay has that affect on a lot of people. You okay?"
