章 501: Ankle

'Playing with other people's lives,' Khan thought. 'I've had enough of this shit.'

Unreasonable desires invaded Khan's mind. The cloud was in the open now, and Khan experienced its feelings. A faint connection between the spell and him had appeared, which affected them both.

Khan's restraints quickly waned. He felt as if he had held himself back for multiple lifetimes. No matter how much he pushed himself, people still attempted to threaten the important parts of his life, be it his girlfriend or his goal to find the Nak.

The situation felt beyond unfair, and the cloud enhanced that feeling. Khan knew he had jumped head-on into that trap. He knew he could have been more careful. He knew the place had innocent people who had ended up there due to equally sad coincidences. Yet, none of that mattered anymore.
