His walk was slow, steady. Hopefully Arkham would take his advice, and he and Rachias would be long gone. In some way, Gabriel doubted this.

Ahren had seemed immortal in life. Mad, but immortal.

He wound up in an empty room, with one of the few cigarettes he had stashed away now burning in his hand. Blonde-red-black hair fell in his face as he stared ahead blankly, unable to focus on anything, unable to feel.
