He... did not expect to find himself in this situation. After all, it was weird for him to be so close to Sofia... he was happy to see her; he really was. Seeing that she was alive meant the world to him.
But at the same time... he wasn't ready yet, not mentally prepared for such an encounter. He was even worse than before, as his mind had gotten worse than it had been when they last met.
Funny, but he didn't even realize when his body summoned the mantle and covered himself; that was just how bad this was, that it was an instinct of his to hide himself from her. The bad part was that he didn't know why, to this day.
He had no idea why he was so scared of it, why his heart ached at the idea. What was it that he was scared of, that she wouldn't recognize him? That she had moved, and that she didn't care about him anymore.
