Chapter 055
Emilia's POV
He remained silent. He just stood there, breathing loudly, keeping his fists clenched, and staring at the spot where Viktor had just been.
The cabin seemed to get smaller by the moment. It felt as though the air had stopped mid-breath. Holding back the things I wanted to scream caused my throat to burn.
Speak up. Please. Speak up.
I took a deep breath.
"Now what?"
He clenched his jaw. No response.
I stepped closer, cautious that if I went too quickly, he might break.
"I'm right here, Niklas."

I extended my hand and touched his wrist. He had ice-like skin.
"You don't need to solve everything tonight."
He didn't look at me, but he also didn't back off.
"I can't act like this never happened."
He didn't say anything
