I'd be hurt if I lost Lailah and the others, but it wouldn't come close to what it'd feel like if I lost you.

[Mikleo knows that it'll feel like he's only half a person. As irreplaceable as the others are, the hole Sorey will leave is bigger and more consuming. The seraph shakes his head gently.]

When you went missing, it was like...suddenly, the other half of myself was gone with you. I didn't know where you went or if you were even okay, and all I wanted to do was not rest until I found you.
