She felt awful for all of it - for subjecting Jeritza to the aftermath of the Death Knight's torment, for not being strong enough or quick enough to make it out before they switched.

But he was so... soft. So sweet. Too gentle for all of this. Nina felt the tears falling again and tried her best to press her face to the crook of his neck, to draw herself close even if it hurt.

I won't let him hurt innocents if I can avoid it, and I'm not going to let him keep making you suffer for his shit." A beat. "You weren't supposed to see it. I'm sorry."
