After saying that, he was silent for a long time, his head low, his fingers clenched around the staff.

"Thank you", Adrien said. He rolled the staff between the palms of his hands for a while, then he looked up at Val again. "It's just -- what am I to do with this? I mean -- how am I going to explain this to my mom...".

"I see what you mean", Val said, his gaze low and lost. "Some might understand, but most will treat you like a murderer without even knowing you".
