Summary
The scene they come upon is disturbing: Occtis is curled tightly into a ball with his head tucked into his knees, and he is whimpering and shaking. As Vaelus kneels beside him and lays a hand on his shoulder, Occtis unfurls long enough to hiss at her, before scuttling backwards until he reaches the farmhouse walls. He curls up again, pressing himself into the wall as if he could phase through it with enough force.
Occtis lost his soul at the hands of his family, and nearly lost his body, too. It shouldn’t be surprising, then, that they come for his mind next.
