"So why the glum faces," Max inquired and looked over at Less and Ethan.
"I always look like this." Ethan pointed out with a small smile, it wasn't quite clear whether or not he was joking but the slightly crooked edge to his jaw was more pronounced when he smiled.

She was probably taking care of him.
"Am I... well? Uhmmm..." was she well? Her ex-fiancee had tried to kill everyone she knew, succeeded killing a colleague, and others... and she still didn't know what had happened to Pepe... Student's parents were probably writing to the headmaster to get her sacked... The guilt was pretty horrible... Valon... and even Ethan had gotten hurt. Was she well??? "Yes..."
... physically anyway.
She rocked on her feet not knowing what else to say.
"You know," Ethan began, looking down at his covered arm, "Things will only get better if you let them."
He looked up again, eyes searching out Kazimeriz once more.
Perhaps it was time for him to let things get better too. Let things go.
