The news of Marius Morningstar's accident finally reached Sirius' ears in Canada, despite He Juan's attempt to suppress it.
Upon hearing that simple question, He Juan could feel a crack forming in his heart and his composed façade came crashing down, giving way to the surge of anxiety, fear, grief and sorrow. He tried to speak, but a heavy lump seemed to have lodged itself in his throat. His lips quivered with the sheer amount of guilt that weighed down on him.
Sirius must have sensed something from his silence because his expression twisted for a bit. But then he tried to force a smile and asked again, "XIU, where is he? It's not right, isn't it? He… he always has his own agenda. There was this one time he faked his own death just to pull out some traitors in the Morningstar Clan…"
Oh God, the Morningstar Clan…
