(It's so quiet…. I was gone to a surprise funeral over the weekend, sorry guys.
Zack saw Aidan standing on the sidewalk outside the school, looking like he hadn't slept in years. Zack himself hadn't gotten much sleep, not after having listened in on and talked to Emma.
It was a weird feeling. Somewhere between pity and empathy, with suspicion and.. admiration? The talk with Emma had thrown him for a bit of a loop, and he was having trouble hating her like he had originally thought he would. The story of her brother brought about his realization: She had more of a reason than most to want to help. Still, there was something off about the Illeyitome girl. Zack couldn't put his finger on it.
