Micah gently stroked Freya's head, a smile of understanding forming on his lips. "I'm sorry for making you worry."
"Micah, please, you have to get better. You can't leavebehind. We... we still have so many things we haven't
done. Everything feels unfinished." Freya hugged him tightly, her voice hoarse and full of emotion. She was truly
scared. If Freya had known that Micah was holding onto an idealized memory of someone who had been flawless
in every way, it might not have hurt as much. But with Arin, things were different.
Setting aside everything else, it was clear that schoices had been offered to Arin, but she hadn't taken
them.
Freya didn't want Micah to spend the rest of his life drowning in guilt.
Micah continued to gently caress her head. "I understand everything you're saying. Don't worry, I'll do my best to
pull myself out of this darkness."
Freya had always said she didn't care about these things, and Micah knew where the real issue lay. He wouldn't

Soon after, Wilfred arrived. While Pharaoh would handle Micah's physical dependence on the medication,

Micah's voice was raspy as he finally spoke. "I didn't kill her, but she died because of me. | never imagined that
death could be so overwhelming, so quiet and inevitable..."
Tears welled up in Micah's eyes, slowly trickling down.
Wilfred's voice was calm.
"Everything has regrets, Micah. You did your best. It's not like you abandoned her. Reality is harsh, and
sometimes, there's nothing you can do. For her, death might have been a release from all that pain."
He paused before continuing, "Think of the countless lives lost in the slave camps When Pharaoh was conducting

Micah, it's not about being cold-hearted. It's about
understanding that the dead are gone, and we, the living, must carry
on.
"Micah, you still have your father, your wife, your sister and an entire nation depending on you. If something
happens to you, what will becof them?" Wilfred knew that the weight of responsibility was the only thing
that could pull Micah out of this dark place.
Micah remained silent, his face twisted with pain.
Wilfred pressed on. "Micah, as the leader of the Yaren Tribe, you are accountable to your people and your nation.
You're not just an individual anymore.
"Arin cared for you deeply, but even if she didn't, she still wouldn't have dared to try and harm you, knowing
you're the leader of the tribe."
Arin's fate had been tragic, but Micah's duty couldn't be ignored.
