Josh's words crash over him like ice water. His stomach drops and he stares at his friend in horror. People died? But Josh wouldn't... he was only trying to hold a job, or help people, Viatorus is certain of it. How could this have happened?

It's as if this admission allows him to take on more of Josh's emotions. He can feel the guilt creeping in as if it were his own, twisting to fit inside his head. He should have been there for Josh. He should have been able to help him, protect him, stop this. He is a Durant, and he's meant to be able to do anything. Except he didn't help his friend.

"I'm sorry," his whispered apology comes out in a gush. "I'm so sorry. Josh, I... I-I-I... What can I do? How-? Are you ok? Are you... alright?"
