"Has that Feathered Serpent Goddess left the stage?" There was a trace of regret in Gilgamesh's eyes.
"Sorry. Maybe my plan was a little... too aggressive." Annanu looked somewhat dejected. Like a child who had done something wrong, he stood quietly—and almost strangely—at Gilgamesh's side, lowering his head to stare at his own feet.
"You don't need to blame yourself over this. It's fine." For some reason, Jaguar Man was squatting nearby, consoling Annanu. "That girl definitely doesn't care one bit about leaving the stage, you know. If anything, she might be pretty happy to go out like that. She died in battle, didn't she?"

But Lawrence really was obsessive.
