[His silence is even more telling now. Whatever emotion he'd attempted to plaster on his face to hide the true weight of the topic vanishes. He's been here for enough weeks now, seen enough of this world that the last memory of his own has already started to become muddled, but he remembers his brother's words as though he'd just spoken them. Gil, the Baskervilles are trying to put the Abyss back the way it was and should be. He and Leo had condemned Pandora for doing the exact opposite of what they'd always claimed, switched the enemy for the savior. He can't say for certain who had been lying back then, but it hurts his head to think about it, broken glass in his head reflecting back memories that still cut too deep to recall.]

Just like this world, there are horrific things out there that people need to be protected from.
