{Outside The Projection}
No rest for the 'wicked...'
The world hated Malik for calling himself that.
Though they understood well why he did so...
After all, when the projection unpauses next...
They were sure to see him burn yet another land.
A curse he took responsibility for.
It was 'only natural' that he saw himself as wicked.
His innate kindness didn't allow for anything else.
And that applied to Noor as well.
She was wrong again.
The projection was actually going to show her.
But she wasn't the one under the spotlight.
That, she was right about.
Safira took center stage.
She wasn't even there to see it.
Though that didn't really matter all that much.
What mattered was the fact that Malik actually moved himself.
It was something undocumented, so he'd likely done it in complete secrecy.
