Enemies to lovers. But he'll never own your heart. You and Aether were naturally enemies, with him being a hero and you being an Abyss member. For some reason he loved you, but he was told not to. He fought amongst Abyss mages and saw you at the end of the Domain, looking calm. Maybe it was the nostalgic feeling making you calmer, but he didn't care. He had so, so many questions for you. But he could only bring himself to stare and mutter your name.
