@Sharidi37495 Eric gulped, looking frightened now. "I...I don't know any names. It was various people around the town. Some scared, some angry, some both." He gulped again.
Marin collapses to her knees, then closes her eyes and takes deep breaths, her appearance slowly returning to her natural form. When she opens her now blue eyes, they’re filled with tears. “I’m sorry I scared you,” she whispers, looking up at him.
Marin gently wipes the tear from his cheek. "I'm so, so sorry, Eric. You deserve so much better. More than I could ever give you." She closes her eyes and brushes the tears from her face. "I'd understand if... if you didn't.." She sobs, unable to say it.
