[ what's worse than hearing hien speak about what happened to him is hearing no inflection in his voice, no waver of emotions.

he's ages old by now—must be, she thinks, from what she's learned. has it been so long that he's removed himself from the emotions tied to those moments? or is it something else?

that answers her question about just how long he's lived for. ]


Who is that...?
