If his mind had been in a stronger state, he would have noticed the sudden change in mood, the sickening twist of the stomach, the falling of the smile. He would have reacted much differently under normal circumstances. But he had changed. Shining didn't behave like he used to. His eyes seemed cold, lacking the warm glow they once held within them. He looked distracted at all times, unable to focus for much longer than a minute or two. He looked lost, confused, disconnected from reality. Especially now, in this moment.
Shine tilted his head slightly to the side, watching the hellhound begin to cry and try to explain. His name was Luca. He was in love. They had met many months ago. He blinked, the gears in his mind puzzling over these details. Trying to connect the dots, resurface old, locked memories. They slowly came to light, one at a time. "That's..." Shine began to speak, trailing off at first.
He frowned. "There are several kinds of love. Yours is born of a desire for pleasure. To fill a void that was formed in your heart. Always looking for someone to help fill it. You believe I am the one." Shine's face grew sad. "I cannot help you. My feelings are not the same. I will only let you down. " Those words were far from what Luca wanted to hear. But Shine could only think to tell the truth. Coldly. "Your time is best spent on someone else."
