That feeling, it's my fault, is something Yohan can empathize with. Every time one of his bodyguards is injured. Every time his father got hurt, he remembers his mother crying and blaming herself. If it was her fault, wasn't it his fault, too? Wasn't his father protecting them from danger? Didn't that make it his fault, too? Of course not, but logic hardly intervenes with feelings.

Yohan tightens his hold on Hayun, curling his legs against the boy. "I can. I will."
