Adam slowly lowered his hand, then gazed at Daggett's corpse—or whatever remained of it, anyway. His eyesight had worsened significantly, so he was using the Sphere of Resonance to 'look'.
In front of him, hovering in the air, Berger remained quiet. He didn't even spare a glance at the corpse. No, his gaze was locked on Adam, who looked to be in a very dire shape. And when the gnome looked into his eyes, his expression grew even more solemn.
After several moments passed in silence, Adam spoke at last:
"Old man… he… he killed someone very dear to me, and now that he's dead… I feel… empty."
His lips quivered as blood continued to trickle down his face. All those intense emotions that he felt a moment ago were no more. He felt utterly hollow. The youth stood there in a daze, then… he turned his head ever so slightly, as if trying to listen to someone.
The Laughing God whispered, but the Eternal Soul Lotus suppressed the flaw.
