Somnus had to take a moment to process it, and to think of the right answer. Because while Somnus couldn't exactly relate, as it wasn't the same kind of situation that could be found in his world, the parallels were far too many to ignore.

He had been trying his best not to think about his brother because most of his guilt, anger, frustration at himself was targeted toward Ardyn and how Somnus himself had dealt with the entire situation. But maybe this could help them both.

"My brother- it wasn't the same, not exactly, for in his case he had a choice not to take the demons into himself." He wrinkled his nose, obviously displeased with the way said brother had handled said choice. "I always thought he was being far too naive by allowing himself to turn into a monster.

It makes me feel even more bad for your situation. For you did not seem to have a choice in the matter."
