She couldn't help shedding a few tears herself, as she wrapped her arms around Kaden and held him close, gently rubbing his back as he cried. She wished there was something to be done with all this pain.
Hecate, hear my prayer. She closed her eyes, because this was too much, too much for just her. Please help me shoulder this pain. Help me ease his troubles. Give me the right things to do to relieve his grief...

"It's okay," she murmured soothingly. "It's okay."
