[Tieria stood with his back to Lockon, hiding everything behind a cold wall of silence. The last few months had been too draining. One blow after another had started to erode something inside of him, leaving him with growing feeling that he was ultimately helpless.
Of course, he still had the strength, the will to plan ahead. To come up with one scheme after another to protect himself, his world, and everyone that was important. To work out what would be the next great steps - peace on another world? Peace between the worlds? Peace throughout all of them?
But every time that something like this happened, the strength ebbed away a little more. And this was possibly the hardest ordeal so far: coming to terms with the fact that if he had died, if he had gone to that other place like he had wished with all his heart, then he would have been further away from Lockon than ever.]
