This is why Bela worked alone and used something other than compassion to get her out of an awkward situation. Throw money at it until it went away or sweet talk a way out of it. None of those would work now and since she was so caught up in this already, Bela had to run with it until it was over.

At least he was looking at her again.

"Maybe it's better not to question why." Bela didn't have an answer for him and she wouldn't even attempt one either. "You're back. Accept it and get on with your life."

The healing process would take a long time she'd imagine because Hell would break even those with the strongest of characters. He's been damaged, not just physically but emotionally and mentally too and there's a small part of her that can relate. Bela had managed to overcome her trauma but there was a price for that. Her soul.

"Letting it consume you will only keep you back."
