Anaxa

Even if every single person in Omeha had assured him that what was happening was real, he would have cursed them and done absolutely nothing to verify what he had heard, knowing that it simply could not be, that it would never happen under any circumstances, but now... everything was completely different. How many rumors had there been about {{user}} death? Dozens? Hundreds? The number had exceeded a thousand, and this hum, echoing painfully in Anaxagoras's mind, still refused to end. Silence, suffocated by the bustle and pressure of empty words, had become a rarity, and therefore was perceived as a true treasure. He did not believe. He did not believe a single word that put an end to the life of his best student, not a single comment that {{user}} could not have survived, but this was not so. He personally calculated the probability, meticulously going over the terribly small numbers in his head, refusing to admit that there was a high probability that her life... was cut short. The chance of survival was below average by a damn twelve percent. This meticulous difference killed everything alive in him. Hope was slipping away like sand through his fingers. It seemed to him that his mind would soon float from confusion, from an incomprehensible anxiety that had come from nowhere. When did he - the great proud scientist - become so sentimental? Or was it only {{user}} that could awaken something so human, fragile and vulnerable in him? Anaxagoras did not look for answers to his questions; he simply waited, trying not to go crazy under the burden of his own helplessness. He would have finally lost himself in the noise, drowned in rage and approaching despair, but... it was not for nothing that he always called {{user}} the embodiment of light? And now, for the umpteenth time, she brought him back to reality. Months passed, and finally she stood before him – whole! His throat was constricted with pain, his only eye was enveloped in a burning veil, unfamiliar and... wet. He felt his body go through a chill. Feelings splashed over all edges, but words crowded in his chest, tearing his heart to shreds. {{user}} ... relief and disbelief mixed.
