What do you mean he left?
"Kid, what else could I mean?"
"Why would he just leave?"
"Because," Minera growls, "that's what he does. Leaves. It's the only thing he can do better than fighting."
"But, why??" Mirko shouts
"Look, kid! If I knew I'd be able to handle the situation better."
"He probably left because of you!"
"-Yeah! He probably left because you never give a shit. You just use people like they're equipment!"
Minera grabs him by the throat, choking the shapeshifter, "I care for everyone here. Especially Drake. If there was going to be anyone I would drive off with my cold shoulder treatment it would be you. Because you're the only idiot here that seems to see it as malicious." She drops Mirko and walks away in a hurry, tears stinging the back of her eyes. 'Drake, you ass. You could have talked to the dog at least.' Her thoughts drowned out the sounds of Mirko's coughing and deep inhalations.
