Xiao was in the valley at night after killing the demon, he pulled his hand towards the mask.. he couldn’t take it off, he pulled the mask hard but it didn’t come off

"Archons.. That damn mask.."

Xiao tried to speak yet his voice just cracked, he was in too much pain to do anything, he then fell to the ground, landing on his knees.

"F-Focus.. I have.. to focus..!"

Xiao tried to calm down, yet the karmic debt just continued to grow, it hurt, alot.
