He knew what it felt like. The burden of guilt laying like a large slab of iron against his chest day in and day out. He tried to reason with it and the others had told him many words of encouragement that tried to get him to understand. But he just felt like he shouldn't have ran. He should have stayed and fought to save his mother's life instead of of running. He knew that she had told him too but her death had cut him deep. Deeper than anything had in his life, she was all he had. It was almost crippling but Medusa said she had sacrificed herself so he could live. Each day was becoming bearable as they passed and he was attempting to fit into this place. Now, he was a Gladiator and though he hardly knew what that meant he found jobs to do. He explored the area...he tried.
He slept less though and there were many reasons for that. The boardwalk was a calm place at times. Helping him to avoid tbe many reminders of his past. Where he came to get his medicine for wounds that were still healing from when he had washed ashore. That was when he saw it and his glowing figure paused there to look at the other, he almost felt the other's pain and hesitantly he walked closer. The young adult wanted to help but he wasn't sure how and the last time he tried to help a stranger they snapped at him. The hybrid sighed and wrapped his elegantly finned tail around himself before he stepped a bit closer. "Hey...is everything alright? Um, I'm Sorbet a Gladiator here. Not too sure what that means but I'm here to try and help if you need it."

How, how much to light up my star again and rewire all my thoughts? Oh baby, won't you remind me what I am? And break, break my little cold heart. I'm living someone else's life. Suppressing who I was inside. I don't know if I can be alone again. I don't know if I can sleep alone again.
