When her body shattered into thousands of glass like fragments, his heart broke with it, shattering with an unfamiliar feeling that had not been kindled in him before now.
He had spent years at her side, going along with her wishes, helping her achieve her goal. In that time he had spent with her, he had consciously blocked the feeling people called love, for not only did he not deserve it, he knew himself to be a savage beast, fit only to be killed.
So, the ache in his heart, which clawed at him daily, and whispered abuse into his psyche, words that stroked the fiery depths of self-loathing, all were caused by that emotion named Love.
If this was love, he decided, he did not want it. He had not wanted it with her, and yet, it had formed without him even being aware. Love was indeed a cruel deity if she was able of arousing this unforgiving pain that raged in him like the most violent of all tempests.
He came to a resolution shortly thereafter- he would become numb, erect a wall of ice that would be an impenetrable force against strong emotions like love. She had cared for him, and he had not deserved her aid, which must have played a role in her decision to sacrifice herself in his place.
He, not she, was supposed to die.
He would not allow this to happen again, for those who got close to him, dug their way into his cruel, selfish heart ended their lives in tragedy. He was okay with the self-imposed isolation, for it would cause only him pain.
No one else would fall prey to loving him, of that, he would make certain.
