[ Mahaad nodded but remained silent. Would this place be doomed just like their home? Was there nothing he could do?

Also, why was he so bothered by this? Why was he so mad... ]

I know that he was wanting to do what we believe in. It wasn't wrong. However, his continued activation of the spell became the reason one of his friends was stabbed.

He says he is trying to protect everyone, but his actions do not indicate that he is doing that.

[ Mahaad is careful to get up and open his room door, Abayomi bounding out now to run around. He gets one of her toys and throws it, allowing her to play. ]

I will forgive him, but I suppose I should give myself time as well. I find myself experiencing emotions stronger then I have before.
